Ha ha ...you sure it's not a Spaniard in the works? lol . Yes, this is a convoluted and multi-layered conundrum but the various facets are interconnected yet still may be a bit challenging to follow in a serialized format . Posting in shorter parts rather than whole chapters creates its own problems-- hence, the shorter post today simply because of plot exigencies - I had to end it here rather than have Clare show up which would have complicated everything. I have some experience with this type of thing - I'm talking real life now, so I keep to what I know and what has worked in my own life and as I said before may seem implausible but is in fact possible. You always have such interesting insights, Alex - I can imagine us in an outdoor cafe losing track of the day challenging and inspiring the other. I read about Sartre and Camus having these types of conversations, though perhaps not with each other. Yeah, I envy them that...but they're dead..hmm, enough said:)

I've also imagined us having a bottle of wine and and something simple to eat, like a thick steak and a coffee to finish it off while we get to know each other....hmmm, as dessert a pavlova with raspberries or chestnut would be nice (if none available, then a delicate double-thick cream brule will do).
These writers....you never know where reality ends and fiction begins, lol. That meal sounds great, particularly since I just finished a supper consisting of a toasted chicken sandwich with a side of fries--as for dessert, that would be tea and ginger snaps. Yep, humble fare :)
You're a gourmand, Alex - this gives me ideas for dining scenes in the story. Mind you, Marcus, Nat et al are petite borgeois like me - Actually, I'm more peasant, ha ha
