    Summary

    Charlie, his mum and his dad were sitting around the wooden kitchen table. The offending letter lay open between them. Torn open in haste to read the hoped-for contents, the white envelope had been abandoned carelessly, flung into the fruit bowl where it would eventually be placed into the recycling bin by his mother.

    The fight was over. The appeal had failed and Kent County Council were no longer funding Charlie's place as a boarder at Mary Hare.

    Summary

    We are back with a new story!
    We have now completed ‘Oh Nick’ but still have lots of ideas of different ways we can torture poor Nick 😂 so here we are with our next installment.

    The Paris Squad are at Harry’s for a party. They are looking forward to a fun evening together when a person from Charlie’s past appears and the consequences for Nick could be deadly.

    As always with us, you can expect lots of angst but we always promise an eventual happy ending. Hope you enjoy, we’d love any comments or kudos to keep us motivated!

    Summary

    “This isn’t how I wanted this conversation to start,” she begins with another hefty sigh and he notes that she’s avoiding his eyes completely. 

    What the hell is going on?

    “What conversation, what’s going on?”

    She runs her fingers through her hair and looks at him. She’s still avoiding his eyes.

    “Baby…” she whispers. “Would you be open to the idea of… opening the marriage?”

    And, just like that, everything inside Nick’s brain comes screeching to a halt.

    Summary


    Charlie knows he has no need to turn back the clock seven years.

    But his mind fights him anyway. Without music to distract him, all the energy he'd usually put toward listening to lyrics goes into stifling a pulsing undercurrent of ideas. A few too many of them catch his attention. Like the thought that he had a chance to reconnect with someone from his old life, but missed it because his parents didn't bother to set up a system that would forward their post to Spain. That the person who reached out never tried again. That that person was probably the only one Charlie has ever regretted cutting out of his life, even after all this time.

     

    OR: Charlie receives an email from a charity shop employee who’s come into possession of a letter intended for him, years ago, from a life he left behind as a teenager.
