Summary
"The worst pain in the world is losing someone you love.
The second worst pain in the world? Watching the person you love lose someone, and being all too familiar with the feeling. Knowing that every second, every breath feels like walking through hell and back with a hundred-pound weight on their shoulders, and not being able to do a damn thing about it.
Pain is familiar to TK. Hard to feel, easy to understand – pain is knowing just how much Carlos is hurting.
Fear is recognizing that his hurt is different."

TK knows what it's like to lose someone. He's been exactly where Carlos is now, but standing on the sidelines of grief proves to be harder than he could have ever imagined.

Summary
Carlos's heart is pounding. He can barely hear over the blood rushing in his ears or see through the fog clouding his mind. Because he knows those eyes. He knows the hand he just shook, and the voice he just heard, although it’s lower and richer than it was over a decade ago, when the man he’d just met was called TK instead of Tyler. He doesn’t know how or why TK is here, in Austin, a lifetime after circumstance ripped them apart and spread miles between them. He doesn’t know how or why the Tyler they’ve been tracking all these months has turned out to be Carlos’s childhood friend, to this day his most cherished relationship, his first heartbreak. He doesn’t know how or why any of this has happened, but it has. He’s completely sure of it. TK – Tyler – didn’t seem to recognize him. But that face is burned into his memory.
