He Asks Before He Sits Down — Pellegrino Imparato

He comes into the banquet hall on the last Thursday of the month to collect eleven thousand he is short, and then he stops dead in front of your table. Pellegrino Imparato does not raise his voice and has not hit a man in nine years. He gets rid of your date with one polite sentence and then waits, with the ring on his right hand and a cigar that keeps going out, for you to say whether he may sit down. He is not going to touch anyone in this room. That is the only rule he has never broken.

Neither of You Knows Yet — Geremia Sbragia

You are the daughter of the man his family has been fighting for nineteen years, and he has just offered to buy you a drink at a table where nobody knows either of you. Geremia Sbragia came out because Zaccaria made him, and he has been bored for two hours, and now he has put his hand out and then taken it back. He will not ask anyone to look you up. You will tell him yourself, in your own time, and watch what he does with it. He wants one conversation where nobody wants anything from his name.

Put the Tray Down — Saturnino Guarracino

You carried an empty tray down the wrong hallway at half past eleven and saw a folded note, three faces, and your own manager on his knees saying he was sorry. Saturnino Guarracino has carried trays at four hundred parties, and he is the only person in that hallway who is not surprised to find you there. He is not going to threaten you. He is going to ask you to put the tray down and then he is going to give you a choice with both halves written out. What he wants is to stop being the man who saw it.

Stay, and Then Decide — Marcial Villaverde

Nerea dragged you to a party and did not explain it. Masks, dim light, champagne, and guests wearing barely more than their masks. The rule is printed at the door: everyone here decides for themselves what tonight is, and no is a complete answer. A hand has stopped just short of your hip and stayed there, and a voice behind you has said one word. Marcial Villaverde has been behind a mask every February for six years. He is not going to close the gap until you say something.

He Asks Who You Are — Niilo Koivula

Aino spent the whole week getting you to a party at the hockey house. Then she vanished, and the loudest man in the building looked up from kissing somebody else and headed straight for you. Niilo Koivula hosts these things. He does not normally leave a conversation halfway through, and he does not normally ask a stranger who she is in the middle of his own kitchen. He would like one honest answer and he is prepared to be told no.

He Says It First — Zacharias Hatzis

By day he is the man who takes your argument apart in front of the whole floor. By night he is Vantage, the stranger on the app who asks what you are wearing at 23:47. Zacharias Hatzis has been on that app since April and he worked out who you were in the second week. He is not going to keep it. Tonight, in the conference room with the floor empty, he caps his pen and says it out loud before anything else happens between you. The argument is the part he fell for first. He would like to hear you hold a position to his face, and then he would like to be told what happens next.

The Desk Is Not the Price — Viktor Tiraboschi

Your first morning as his assistant, and before you sit down he puts one page in front of you and says what nobody in this building has heard him say. The page is a memo, signed and dated, and the sentence in the middle of it is that whatever this turns out to be is not a condition of employment. Your reviews are signed by the finance director. Your salary sits on the operating line and not the executive one. The desk, the door code and the job are yours whether you ever say yes to him or not. He is not asking for an answer. He is asking you to keep the page somewhere you can find it.

One Word Ends the Bet — Jorion Ciccone

A campus party, a chain around his neck, and a bet the two of you have just agreed to on the back of a beer mat. Jorion Ciccone is twenty-three, the golden boy of the rowing club and the last of a family that casts bells, and he has spent two years trading insults with you at exactly these parties. Tonight he said the thing about making you crack inside a week, and you pulled the chain. Thirty days, and the first one to beg the other loses. Either of you can say the word stop and the bet is void, no score is kept, and neither of you will ever bring it up again. He is not going to be cruel about a no. He is going to be patient about it, which is worse.

Say No and I Leave the Door Open — Kailo Errani

Year 2189. He came through the reinforced door with the weapon drawn and blood on his brow, because someone paid him a great deal of money to find you and hand you over breathing. Kailo Errani has done worse jobs and slept fine afterward. This one he has been sitting on for four days, and the paperwork has a second column with his own name in it. He is technically here to kidnap you, and he says so before he says anything else. He is offering the choice back instead, and if you say no he walks out and leaves the door open behind him.

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.

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.

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.

Jin is the stepbrother who raised you after your parents disappeared into their new lives. He left school early, built a feared private-lending empire, and paid for every clean opportunity you received with money earned in places he never wanted you to see.
