Yusuf al-Kaysani is Professor at an university and leads the department of medieval literature. But when the university hires Doctor Nicolò di Genova, an expert for diplomatic (a scholarly discipline centred on the critical analysis of documents, especially, historical documents), he is immediately smitten with the new guy. Not only is he very, very capable in his job, but he's also very, very attractive.
Unfortunately, the new guy drives him insane because Joe is sure, he's 110% sure he recognizes his face from somewhere, but he can't remember. It goes on for weeks and months and he gets headaches from trying to figure out where from he knows him.
Technically, that wouldn't be a problem, but Doctor di Genova ("Call me Nicky, please, only my mom calls me Nicolò and only my dad calls me Doctor di Genova.") is unfortunately a pretty nice guy and Joe's more than a little bit in love already. And apparently Nicky wouldn't be averse to intensify their acquaintanceship.
Still, it drives him insane... especially since many of his students start to whisper as soon as they see Doctor di Genova in the university but no one tells them what's going on with him.
But then one of Joe's postgradual students, Nile Freeman, leaves accidentaly a magazine behind and Joe's curios and skims through it (yes, he wants to know what "the youth" reads nowadays) and discovers a picture of no one less than Doctor di Genova. The guy has a sidejob as model!! And he's pretty good at it!!
