    Summary

    At the sight of freckled cheekbones and amber eyes, Charlie is suddenly transported back to over a decade prior. To the first meeting of a boy with a kind smile and sweet disposition in his form.

    “Hi,” Charlie had said as he took his newly assigned seat.

    “Hi,” the boy said back, a wary look almost passing his features before it quickly transformed into a polite grin.

    Charlie never forgot the butterflies that swarmed his stomach that day.

    Those same butterflies come storming back now so fiercely that he nearly keels over from the nausea of it. The jolt of panic, fear, and a little bit of something else that he can’t quite name, hitting him all at once.

    Nicholas Nelson, the first boy Charlie ever loved, is standing in his bookshop.

    Summary

    As with so many of the bad decisions in Alex’s life, it starts with a dare.

    At least this time, the dare isn’t his. He’s at a party his sister and her girlfriend Nora are hosting in their gorgeous New York apartment, filled with a mixture of their friends from college, new people from June’s newspaper job, and Alex.

    College friends of course includes Pez, June and Nora’s sometime hookup (Alex really wishes he knew less of the details). Pez is president of the college’s LGBTQ+ society, and no party at Colombia – indeed, no party in New York – is complete without him.

    And where there is Pez…there is also Henry.

    **
    Alex and Henry have been sleeping together for the best part of a year. Casually, of course.

    Summary

    That day at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics, Alex comes across the very same Prince Henry who just dismissed him having a panic attack in a bathroom. The choice Alex makes then has ripple effects neither of them could have ever expected. What's the story like, when they actually are friends all along?

    “So, you’re going back to England tonight, and you’ll spend the next three days pretending you two are the closest and best of friends until we can put this mess behind us.”

    And there are reasons he hasn’t told anybody this, good reasons, even though he’s sure June and Nora saw through him ages ago. Faced with his mom’s disappointment, though, and with the realization that the entire world apparently thinks he hates Henry and would willingly shove him into a fucking cake, he can’t stay quiet.

    “But we are friends,” he says, vehement and serious. “We have been for years. He’s—he’s probably my best friend, actually, along with Nora.”
