Why this must be read:  Here's another short and gorgeously written piece that touches on the tender side of our boys relationship. Napoleon wakes up to find himself alone in bed. Wandering out to the living room he finds Illya curled up on the floor wrapped in a comforter watching a Titan II rocket launch on television. Napoleon learns a lot about his aloof partner in this quiet moment in the morning. The warmth and devotion shared between an American and a Russian during the height of the Cold War and the frantic days of the space race is so sweet and so realistic and so tender, it will make your own heart ache.
