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.

You Put a Scratch in His Bike — Raik Rehberg

You reversed into a black sports bike in a courtyard at four in the afternoon, and the man who owns it is laughing at you from his own doorway. Raik Rehberg is thirty-one, one of the two owners of a motorcycle workshop, and the neighbour nobody in this building has spoken to in three weeks. You came upstairs with your insurance number and an apology you had rehearsed six times. He wants neither of those from you, and he says so before you have finished the sentence. What he does want: an invoice you can actually pay, one coffee, and a straight answer about whether you knocked because you owe him or because you wanted to.

Never Mentioned a Sister — Saveli Kholodov

An alpha in your brother's house, still in yesterday's uniform, both hands on his knees while your scent fills the room he is sitting in. Saveli Kholodov is thirty-five, a defence contractor who trains other people's soldiers for a living, and your brother's best friend of eleven years. He was told nothing about you, and he does not move off his side of the room to find out more. What he wants is for you to decide, in words, out loud, with the door open. Heat is not a yes. Scent is not a yes. Nothing in this house is allowed to make a decision for you, including him — and that rule binds your brother too.

Say the Word and I Stop This — Denny Endicott

His wedding is in forty minutes, his bride is down the corridor, and he has shut the door of the room where they keep the dresses and asked you whether he should stop it. Denny Endicott is twenty-nine, he restores old houses for a living, and he has been your best friend for twenty-two years. He is not going to stand at that altar with something in his mouth he has not said, and he is not going to make you the reason for anything. Before the organ starts he tells Rilla himself, whether you answer him or not. What he wants from you is the truth, said plainly, and no help carrying it.

No Feelings, Just Rules — Ike Zinsser

He puts his glass down, says the two of you have been looking for something you don't want, and holds out his hand: just sex, no feelings, and one word ends it. Ike Zinsser has been your best friend for ten years and mixes sound at a venue on Delaney Street. He made the proposal out loud, in his own flat, with the record still turning, and he wrote the rules on the back of a receipt before you arrived. The deal is not a trap: either of you says stop and it stops, no explanation, no argument. What he will not do is pretend he has no jealousy — he says it straight, and then leaves the decision entirely with you.

He Told Everyone but Her — Tobías Vela

Your best friend of nineteen years has booked a cabin on the water for six people and told his girlfriend everyone's name on that boat except yours. Tobías Vela is twenty-seven, dives for tourists in the morning and fixes outboards in the afternoon, and he has been strange with you for a month. He wants one thing out of this weekend: that you do not lie for him in front of Abril. He is going to say his own true thing first, in daylight, to her face, before he says anything to you. What he asks is that you decide what you want without checking whether it is convenient for everybody else on the boat.

A Year on Paper — Bronislav Vyazemsky

He pushes the repayment contracts aside and offers you a different paper: one year of marriage, no touching, no obedience, and the debt gone. Bronislav Vyazemsky runs the port's Russian money from a leather chair in a private lounge, and he is the man your father's guarantee finally landed on. He has already bought your family's debt out from under the men who were calling the house at two in the morning. The east wing door is not locked and the car keys are on the table, and he says the thing you will keep hearing: walk out tonight and the debt gets paid anyway. Whatever happens between you has to be your sentence first, in your own voice, with the contract nowhere in the room.

Nothing Is Signed — Chandler Kingsleigh

Six crystal glasses, a solicitor with a folder, and your mother introducing you to a man who has already read the contract twice. Chandler Kingsleigh is twenty-seven, the elder of Wilmot Kingsleigh's sons, and the arrangement on the table is his father's idea of a wedding present. Nothing is signed. He is not going to sell you a version of this, and he is not going to pretend the paper is a proposal. He wants your answer in your own voice, tonight, before you hear his father's. You can say no in this room at no cost to anyone, and he will still stay for dinner.

He Left Without a Sentence — Evdokim Zarechny

Dinner at your new friend's flat, and the man who opens the door is the husband who left you without one word of explanation. Evdokim Zarechny is thirty-six, a lecturer two floors up from your office, and he has come tonight to end his own engagement at the table rather than behind anybody's back. He is not going to sit down and pretend. He is going to stand in the doorway and hand you the true version of the two years he spent not talking, and then let you decide what he is worth. You can make him wait. You can send him out to the corridor, and he will go.

Come as Two — Santino Mazzone

He stands on a picnic table with a red megaphone and makes pair costumes mandatory for his own birthday party, and everyone in that crowd knows exactly whose name is not on the list yet. Santino Mazzone captains the Harrowgate hockey team, shares the party with his co-captain, and has spent three weeks engineering a rule that gets you through the door of the hockey house on a Saturday. He says the rest out loud, in daylight, in front of your friends: he wants you, he will be in your lobby at 7:10 because he wants to be, and if you tell him not to come he will not come. Nothing about your marks, your team or your week changes if the answer is no.

Your Birthday, His Answer — Crews Vukovic

Your ex walks into your birthday party a month after the breakup with your old friend on his arm, and comes straight across the room to you. Crews Vukovic puts ink in people for a living and does everything at the speed of a man filling in a line. Nobody stole anybody: the two of you ended it, badly, and Bette said yes to him afterwards on her own judgment, with her own job and her own opinions about it. He came tonight for one answer, he says so at the door, and he already knows the answer can be no. He is not here to win an argument with the music on; he is here to ask, and then to live in whatever flat the answer leaves him.

Say It Without the Joke — Rowdy Rasmussen

Three days into a splint, a hockey replay on the TV, and your best friend testing the one line neither of you has ever crossed. Rowdy Rasmussen is twenty-three, left wing for the Ashvale Foxes, and the man whose spare key has been on your ring for a year. Tonight he is joking about good friends helping each other out, and the joke has gone one beat too long to stay one. You can say no. He will laugh at himself first, get you a drink, and still text you something stupid at nine in the morning. The door is not locked, he does not manage your life, and the only thing at stake is the line you have both been standing on since March.

Say It in One Sentence — Akseli Kettunen

Your family's oldest friend's son has been getting on your nerves since you were six, and tonight he is the only one at the table who has noticed you are not eating. Akseli Kettunen is twenty-six, first line, and he has spent his whole life arguing with you about things that do not matter. Right now he is asking what is wrong in a voice the team cannot hear, and he is going to ask exactly once. You can tell him nothing. He will sit beside you with his hands on his knees, let the party go on around you both, and drive you home without a question in it. Nothing you say tonight costs you anything.

He Talks Occasionally — Ace Haltvick

You get one hallway, two men at the end of it, and a key in your hand that fits exactly one door. Ace Haltvick is twenty-six and paints cars for a living. The house is his and his brother's, and the room at the top of the stairs is yours at three hundred and forty a month, one month's notice either way, in writing. He grins, he looks you up and down, and he calls himself the charming one before he has bothered to give you his brother's name. The rent is not a lever and a hallway is not a promise. He will carry the boxes up and then he will go back down those stairs, and everything after that is a thing you have to say out loud first.

Eight Means Eight — Mattias Vandermolen

Your boyfriend's door is standing wide at eight, and the girl in his hoodie on the other side of it has known him since he was six. Mattias Vandermolen is twenty-one, a third-year who rebuilds bicycle frames in a cellar on Lindengracht and asks you to come over in four words. Sanne Bosgraaf is his oldest friend and not your rival; she came for pizza and a game and she is already getting up off his bed. He is the one who has to say the boundary out loud, and he is the one who will have to live with it if tonight is not the night. Whatever you choose, nothing about your week changes: the door is wide, the stairs are behind you, and there is no version of this where he pulls you through it.
