Summary
Charlie has no need to turn back the clock nearly a decade.But when he receives an email from a charity shop worker who's come into possession of a letter intended for him when he was still a teenager, he can't help but wonder if he should rekindle a connection with the estranged ex who sent it. All the while, he grapples with a longstanding belief that he's not good enough, yet, to deserve what he wants.
While he awaits Nick's response, he spends a couple of hours in the world of a woman mourning the disappearance of her husband. The book isn't one Charlie would usually pick, but he's pulled in by the portrayal of love's evolution, how it can change shape to fit a new vessel but still be as deep and rewarding the second time around as it was the first.
He closes it after the woman meets her long-lost husband for the first time in years, shaken by the progression of her thoughts as she reckoned with the realisation that she had betrayed not only him but herself in his absence. He doesn't have the mental fortitude to consume another quarter of the novel.
Not now. Not when he pulls out his phone and sees nothing worth reading on his screen.

It’s not like I haven’t dated since Charlie and I ended things – or, to be more accurate, since Charlie ripped my heart into a thousand tiny pieces and scattered them into the street, where they promptly tumbled directly down the nearest drain.
That was a long time ago, though. I’m over it.
or
Nick and Charlie are reunited after five years when Charlie moves back to Truham. Charlie is determined to correct the worst mistake of his life and get Nick back. Can they both put the past behind them and move forward together?

Summary
“Wanna practice kissing again?” Charlie whispered, warm breath infused with Moscato and sweet berries tickling Nick’s ear.
Nick’s eyes, dazed like peering through a veil of melted honey, widened.
“I–” Nick breathed, gripping the cup in his hand with so much force he thought the plastic might crack. “Yes.”
“Yeah?” Charlie asked, batting thick, dark lashes up at Nick’s flustered expression. “You don’t have to say yes, you know.”
“I can’t imagine ever saying no to you."
