The lack of snapping photos and prying journalists was actually really refreshing, even for Alex who didn't chafe under it all quite so much as Henry did.

Was... was Henry asking him to get out of this place and go back somewhere alone? Yeah? Because Alex was ready. Masquerade had been great, but beating an early retreat? That worked for him, especially if it meant showing Henry his place.

And some other things.

"Yeah, okay. Let's get out of here. I'll give you the full tour, show you all my favorite spots." Like his bed.
