One can barely tell that there was such a gap between chapters, because this flows so naturally in both style and voice from the last one. It's kind of nice to see Orlando and Viggo trying to function domestically now that Orlando's not an authority figure to Viggo, and the fact that it doesn't work makes it more real than it would be if everything was all fine and dandy. It's also an interesting kind of foreshadowing, because you give us just enough to suspect that everything will be going to pot soon enough.
as an indication of how much I wanted to read this, I'm squinting through the visual disturbances of a migraine, because I can't wait half an hour until my vision clears.
When as Orlando begun to snore, he decided that yes, he’d rather have a lover who snored and protected him than one who said I love you twenty times a day.
I like how you describe Viggo, waking up in a cold sweat, hearing Orlando snore, and he seems to feel so distant from Orlando and put off by his peripheral anger, and then hearing him snore after Orlando has professed his love; the same snoring in the same piece has two completely different interpretations to Viggo, wanting to leave at one point, and then wanting to stay.
Orlando doesn't indulge in girly soppiness, but he does engage in honest communication when he realizes it's necessary, and he's capable of it, and of caring, deeply.
Police Complaints Commission? I'm glad that Orlando and Viggo had their night in peace and quiet before they were rudely awoken... I wonder how Orlando will be able to protect Viggo if he finds himself in an inquiry and his anger issues potentially rising to the surface...
