Summary
Max felt like the moon, hung amongst the stars, watching the quiet stillness settle as the world fell asleep. Daniel was the sun, all blindingly golden and warm rays that you could bask in during busy city afternoons. He was wisps of amber that cascaded down, ringlets of an orange peel, fruit generous in the palm of your hand. He embodied everything summer represented, tied together with the checkered cloth you'd lay out for a picnic. Max felt as if he was held in winter: frost-covered windows, ice spindles crawling up glass panes, as the heat of your breath fogged them up.
They felt so different, but that was what brought him in. Opposite ends of a magnet, their dance orbited around one another, stepping into a constant swing of back-and-forth.
Daniel felt safe.
But with safety came fear: fear of longing, of losing, of having to move on.
---
Or: Recently widowed Max moves to a city in an attempt to escape the past, setting a rule to protect himself: no more falling in love. What he doesn't account for is reuniting with his childhood friend Charles, who introduces him to Daniel and Arvid, which happens to completely derail Max's plans.

Summary
Max's breathing was slow and heavy, all thick and fuzzy in his lungs as he sat on the kitchen floor. He slid his fingers over the pointed edge of the glass shard, just on the gentle enough not to draw blood.
It hadn’t started like this. It hadn’t really started at all. He'd definitely never gone all the way.

Summary
Max had just — Max had been Max about it, which meant he'd wanted something and then pursued it with the exact same focus and total disregard for obstacles that he brought to everything else in his life. Max wanted a championship, so he drove like a man possessed and fought for every tenth of a second. Max wanted Daniel, apparently, so he'd shown up at Daniel's hotel door.

Summary
Max brings it up the way he brings up most things that matter to him: sideways, without looking at Daniel, in the middle of something else entirely.
They're in Max's kitchen in Monaco — the good one, the one with the window that looks out over the harbour, where Daniel has spent approximately forty percent of the last two years either eating Max's food or stealing Max's tea and pretending it was his — and Daniel is talking. He's been talking for a while. That's not unusual. Daniel fills silences like water fills a container, and Max has always let him.
"I think I just need to not think for a while," Daniel is saying. "Not about racing, not about lap times, not about any of it. I said to — I said to someone the other day, I never want to think about racing again. Not for a long time. Maybe not ever."
He laughs when he says it. A relieved laugh. A can you believe I made it laugh.
Max says, almost into the sink: "You don't have to stay. Now that you're done."
