    Summary

    The lilting melody of 'Under the Milky Way Tonight' by The Church wafts through a vent over the pub’s back door.

    Wish I knew what you were looking for

    Might have known what you would find

    The sound weaves around Charlie and Nick like a trail of smoke, buffering them from the outside world.

    "I’ve seen you looking at me at school," Nick says.

    "I- " Charlie starts to protest.

    Nick interrupts him, "I like the way you look at me."

    Summary

    Charlie Spring is a single dad, a writer, and absolutely not in love with his son’s preschool teacher—or so he tells himself. Between raising four-year-old Remy, juggling work, and healing from a messy divorce, the last thing he needs is a crush on the kind, gorgeous Mr. Nick Nelson. But as their worlds keep colliding at drop-offs and pick-ups, Charlie wonders if maybe, just maybe, love could find him when he least expects it.

    Summary

    Charlie was beginning to regret all of his life choices. No amount of money saving and family respect was worth waking up before 7am. None. His earliest lectures had begun at an easy 9 am and he lived close enough that he had no reason to roll out of bed before eight on those days. Sure, when he was at Truham early mornings were a thing, but it had been a good year since that mattered. He was out of practice. And in serious need of caffeine.

    The worst part of being back in Kent wasn’t the early mornings, it was losing every speck of freedom he felt living in London.

    Or
    Nick and Charlie meet at drop off at Olly’s nursery each morning. Charlie assumes Nick must be a married dad. The boys are drawn to each other as they find similarities, both moving back to Kent sooner than they’d like.
    (Olly is younger in this than the comics)
