Series: The country of the heart (Story #2 in chronological order)
Summary: The hors d'oeuvres are all fine--this time, but Nathalie will never forget or forgive the false calamari incident--and the drinks are flowing freely enough that someone across the room is laughing much too loudly. (February 2007)

Conceptually Related Works: No less than life was not quite how I wrote this story in the DC Universe, but things are different with Batman involved. Game theory came pretty close in certain respects in Life on Mars, but no one here is back in time.
