The Mystery of the Moving Image

The Mystery of the Moving Image (2018) C.S. Poe (Snow & Winter)

A lot has happened to Sebastian and Calvin, so they are ready for some calm and quiet.

Of course they don’t get it.

Someone sends Sebastian an old Kinetoscope–and some never-before-seen reels for it.

“Hundred-twenty-year-old movie,” Max said with an astonished tone. “It’s going to be either porn or cats.”

Although there are no Big Misunderstandings between the two, I do like how we see Sebastian’s insecurities.

So yeah, a lot of things were good. But I guess that’s why I’d also been sidelined by anxieties lately. I wasn’t expecting old self-doubts when I was on top of the world.

And the two are adorable.

“I’m ignoring the sarcasm only because I’m incredibly turned on by you spouting random facts at me,” I answered.

Calvin smirked. “I’ll remember that.”

And I want to note this:

Calvin hardly ever talked about his therapist or their sessions together. Not that I expected him to. It was his journey. So long as he sought discussion with someone who would guide him to discovering self-forgiveness and healthy coping mechanisms, I didn’t care if he never shared a word.

The mystery is interesting, although Sebastian still does stupid thing because he’s curious, he at least tries to be a little safety conscious in this book.
