He’s been convincing himself that he’s happy until one day the truth becomes too big to hide from himself, and he finds himself fleeing his abusive relationship. Unfortunately, this leaves him needing to find a new apartment, and fast.

He’d been doing his military service for the last nine months and has decided to enroll at Uppsala University to study social work. The chaos of his abdication and enrolling in university leave him needing to find a new apartment, and fast.

    Summary

    When Wilhelm loses his brother weeks before the end of his second year of uni and is left alone with his grief, a pre-booked summer trip around Europe, and no one to take in Erik's place, he finds himself inviting Simon, his former high school best friend (and long-time crush). The only problem? Wilhelm and Simon haven't spoken for two years, and the last time they did, Simon kissed Wilhelm, and everything between them got horribly and irrevocably awkward. But with eight weeks to spend travelling Europe in each other's company, all they've got to do now is avoid anything like that happening again. Simple. Easy.

    But, if it did... what happens on the continent stays on the continent, right?
