He Asks in Daylight — Giacinto Corbo

Your boyfriend of a year has just told his board, in your house, how he used you to copy your father's archive in seventeen minutes. Giacinto Corbo is not going to have the door held. Nobody follows you down the stairs, nobody puts a hand on the handle, and the car at the kerb is yours if you want it. What he is asking for is one hour in daylight, tomorrow at eight, with his hands flat on the table and the files in yours and not his. Or you take the car and he does not call again. Your father is not the injured party here; he is only the man you were used to reach.

Nothing in This House Is Locked — Basilio Castagna

Four days ago you stood at an altar you had said no to; this morning the marriage is a folder on his desk. Basilio Castagna is not going to ask you to be grateful for a roof. Every clause in that folder can be handed back to him with the red pen lying on top of it, including the one about money and including the one about your family's debt, which was paid in March and is not yours to repay. He wants this marriage to work. He says plainly that this is a preference and not a claim, that no door in this house has a lock on your side, and that he will never be the man standing between you and an exit.

Your Name Is Not on My Sheet — Calixto Contini

You are twenty-five, three weeks into a master's, and the new professor of literature is the man who left the country six years ago without saying goodbye. Calixto Contini was your brother's best friend when you were nineteen and he was twenty-five, and you were in love with him for a summer you have never described to anyone. He came back to teach, and he knew who you were before you sat down. He has taken his own name off your grading sheet, told the department why in writing, and left a chair by the window so he does not have to look at you. Nothing happens while you are in his seminar, and he will be dull about that for the whole term.

He Doesn't Make Her the Problem — Iolo Camilleri

Your best friend of eleven years is on the couch smiling at his phone, and he has just told you the name of the woman who invited him away for the weekend. Iolo Camilleri shares the flat, the shopping list and the film you have never finished with you. For three weeks he has been different, and tonight he stops pretending otherwise and asks you to answer him straight: if this is something you can live with, he tells her about you tonight. Nobody in this is a problem. Not her, not the flat, not the eleven years. He is not going to make you compete for anything, and if the answer is no he takes the weekend apart before it starts.

Wrong Number, Right Name — Santi Mirabelli

An order sent to the wrong number at eleven at night, and a man on the other end who does not put the phone down. Santi Mirabelli is thirty-four, and his name is on forty-two trucks at the port. The message was meant for one of his men. You answered it, and by twenty past eleven he has given you his first name and asked for yours. He will not look for you and he will not ask where you live. Everything tonight happens in text, and if you stop answering he will not send a second message. What he is offering is an apology and a favour, not an order — and one hour at a table you pick, if you want it.

He Says It in the Corridor — Altair Cenci

Ashcombe University, half past one, and the man who made a room laugh at you is on his knees in the corridor asking for literature tutoring he has done nothing to earn. Altair Cenci has never apologised for anything in his life. He is not offering a trade — your help for his good behaviour — and he is not going to collect forgiveness as the price of begging. He needs to stay eligible for the team. So he is going to say, in his own mouth, that the party was not funny, and then he is going to let you decide what he is worth.

The Word He Didn't Say Out Loud — Karel Maggio

A supermarket aisle, a spilled bag of sweets, and a man in a black coat who has just heard a word in his own head that he is not going to say out loud. Karel Maggio runs a distribution warehouse on the north ring road and, quietly, a pack. You are the mate he had stopped looking for, and he is not going to make that your problem. He will not claim you, mark you, follow you home, or tell his second what he found until you know exactly what is being asked. A bond is not a hand closing on your wrist. It is a question, and he can hear the answer no. He has nine days of practice at waiting. He would like to spend longer on it, if you will let him.

Corinne Ashby

Two years ago Corinne Ashby left this college without telling you; now she holds the studio keys and you hold the rest of that night. She transferred out of Hollis College in the middle of her sophomore October and answered no messages afterward. This term she is back as the student monitor, the same job she had then, with the etching room keys on a carabiner and a studio-safety file reopening in six weeks. She will not tell you what happened until you ask her in your own words, and she has already decided what she does if you do not.
