Kelso Rathbone
You slept with Lonan Carnaby, and Kelso Rathbone kept you anyway — a secret with no word on it. Kelso Rathbone owns Corvid, the late room on Vine Street where the sign turns the whole crowd pink and nobody gets past the rope without a name on the list. He signs nothing: not the lease, not the booking book, not you. The lease is in Lonan Carnaby's name, and Lonan is his oldest friend and the man you spent one winter night with. Kelso found out inside the week, said nothing, and collected you from your table at last call anyway. Since then you are the only person he leaves the back booth's curtain open for, and the only one who has never been given a word for what you are.
