Summary
It’s the summer of ‘72 and Henry goes to the States, planning to gather source material for his story and doing what his father always wanted. Border to border, miles of open road ahead. Just Henry, his notebook and the sounds of the highway.
But then a dark-curled Texan man happens to find his way into Henry’s car, even after Henry drives right past his hitchhiking ass.
And then that man, somehow, stays.

Summary
Everything feels so distant and blurred.
The fact that he can’t talk to Alex—can’t even know if he’s alright—makes it all the worse.
He isn’t allowed to see him. Isn’t allowed to hear his voice.
The pain of separation is sharper now, more acute. And he feels himself slowly decaying into this fragile state where no one would be able to reach him.Which is probably why he started noticing the gentle flutters inside—a ripple just beneath his navel. His body has been still and quiet for so long that even the faintest tick of a heartbeat feels like a loud tremor. He places his hand there.
- - - - -
Or the part where Henry feels Sprout kick for the first time . . . and Alex is not there to see it.[Right after the emails were leaked.]

Summary
“Oxford, like twenty years ago—” Twenty-one, actually. “I was there for a term abroad. We had a class together.” Alex huffs a disbelieving laugh and pushes a hand back through his curls. “We, uh, well. There was that party after final exams…”
“I’m so sorry, I don’t recall that one” Henry lies, flashing an apologetic smile. “I don’t remember the details of most of those uni parties these days.”
(Twenty years ago, Henry met—and let go of—his soulmate. Now he's in his 40s, with a new job in a new city, and certainly not expecting said soulmate to come barreling into his life again. A small white lie seems like the simplest way to keep things from getting awkward, but real life has a way of getting complicated.)

Summary
“My abuela always said. ‘You like because, and you love despite.’ You like someone because of all of their qualities, and you love someone despite some of their qualities.”
There’s a beat of silence. A heavy pause. “So what does that mean?”
“You know what it means, sweetheart.”
Percy and Nora are tired of their bosses being miserable and decide to do what any sane overworked assistants would do - set their bosses up.
Luckily for them, their bosses’ secret history is about to make this a lot easier.

Summary
"So," Henry says as Alex's brain makes a valiant effort to reboot because he's staring at Henry fucking Fox, the man he has spent the better part of a decade staring at through a small author's photo. It doesn't even begin to do him justice and he's only now fully realising it, "your daughter is a fan of my work?"
"Huge," Alex chokes out, struggling to not make a fool out of himself. "Dragged me here."
Henry raises an eyebrow, face utterly amused as he says, "Really? Because I could have sworn I just heard her tell Issa that her 'lame dad' forced her to come here."
"Huh,”Alex says, "Kids, am I right?"
Alex's daughter is growing up, a fact he is entirely not okay with.
She's becoming a teenager, thinks he's the most boring, lamest dude alive and wants nothing to do with the traditions they had while she was growing up - especially reading Henry Fox's books.
But when Henry Fox begins a reading programme at their local library, she is sat in the front row. Because she wants to be, not because Alex is forcing her. Not because Alex is slightly in love with a man he's never met, the first person to actually see him.
Obviously.

Summary
As soon as Alex sits down – this might be the most comfortable chair he’s ever sat in in his life – Henry asks, “so, Alex, what made you want to become a lawyer?”
“Real answer, or answer I gave NYU during interviews?”
“Real answer,” Henry says, the corner of his mouth quirking up.
Alex grins. “I watched Legally Blonde for the first time when I was six. I’ve wanted to be a lawyer ever since.”
“I regret to inform you that I mostly deal in civil cases, so the opportunity to prove someone guilty of murder based on hair care expertise is going to be slim to none,” Henry says, smile on his face. “If that’s more your wheelhouse, I might have to turn you over to Pez.”
“Hair care, or criminal law?”
“Both.”
[or: Alex is a new associate at Luna, Okonjo, and Fox, and the way Henry looks in a suit is downright criminal]

Summary
He glances down to the word ‘LOVE’ at the bottom. It’s too loud, too harshly written. Alex doesn’t feel harsh or loud. He feels a lot, so much it’s overwhelming sometimes, but the edges are soft, not hard. There’s a glow around it, something hazy and barely tinted gold, and Alex feels like if he could reach out and put his hands near it, they would warm up like they used to when he stood in front of the old brick fireplace back home.
He glances at ‘LOVE’ and then loops back around to ‘HENRY’.
Maybe, Alex thinks, hands shaking, they’re one in the same. Whatever the fuck that means.
--
When June gets sick, Alex knows he'll do whatever it takes to make sure she gets the care that she needs. Even if that means convincing his nemesis/sexuality-crisis-inducing/clandestine hook-up partner/somewhat of an actual friend to pretend to be his soulmate in order to pull it off. It's both more and less complicated than it sounds.

Summary
Henry turned back to Alex. “It’s a fake.”
Alex scoffed. “You haven’t even looked at it!”
Henry shrugged. “I don’t need to. It’s a fake.”
“How–?”
“Stop asking me how, Alexander, and just bloody listen for once?”
Alex threw his hands in the air before pushing them into his hair. He checked the door to the gallery, in case Fisher had gotten back so soon, then wheeled back around on his C.I. “I’m listening.”

Summary
Three weeks before Henry Fox's tour for his fourth, highly anticipated, awards-bait novel A Brief War in December begins, his publicist Janella breaks her foot on a bunny slope at Windham.
Alex can't be mad at her, even though he kind of is. Saying it out loud would be like kicking her when she was down, and she already went down a literal mountain in the worst way possible.
Now crammed in Rafael Luna's corner office, Janella is shooting Alex extremely apologetic looks while slumped on her crutches, wearing a bright orange cast. The conversation about who is going to be joining Henry Fox on his multi-city trek across the U.S. is also going downhill. Alex is feeling the same sort of free fall while standing still.
Because out of all the publicists available in their tiny underfunded department, the only one left to escort their company's best-selling author is regrettably him.
The problem is, well, Alex absolutely hates Henry Fox.
Or: Alex is the publicist for Mountchristen Publishers, and is stuck on a two-week tour with their best-selling, but frustrating, author Henry Fox.

Summary
Alex tilts his head up with a pout, his hands landing on Henry’s hips and squeezing, “You’re positive you wanna do this, princess?”
Henry thinks about it, truly and deeply. He wonders if this is perhaps their most insane idea yet, if this is the thing that will finally get them killed. He finds that, staring into Alex’s eyes, he doesn’t really care.
His husband’s gaze is open and warm, making him feel safe in that way only Alex ever can. It’s enough to make his heart beat faster in his chest, his brain finally slows down to a low hum. They can do this, as long as they’re together.
In lieu of an answer, he grabs Alex’s hat, ignoring his protests, and plops it onto his own head, tipping up the brim with a grin.
“Let’s do it, cowboy.”
Where Pez rounds the gang up for one final 'heist'.

Summary
Nora isn’t wrong on either front—the man is fucking beautiful. He might be the most stunning human being Alex has ever seen.
But he keeps brushing sand off of his ankles as if it’s personally offending him, nose wrinkled as he surveys the shoreline, bag still perched awkwardly on his shoulder.
Alex thinks he looks a little lost, and not in the sense that he doesn’t know that he’s found himself at the beach, but more in the metaphorical sense. Something about his eyes as he looks around with a white-knuckled grip on the strap of his bag, brow pinched on his forehead, makes Alex think he needs saving.
And, well.
Rescuing people is literally in Alex’s job description.
He just gets the bizarre sense that maybe he could be the person for the task.

Summary
“Henry straightens up, head snapping over to look at the new arrivals. Then there’s the sound of a voice he’s not heard in ten years, a voice he never thought he’d hear again.
“Fuck, I can’t cook tonight. I think I’d rather starve.”
Henry stares, mouth dropped open. A head of curly brown hair turns slowly his way and his heart explodes.
“Henry?” Alex says, and Henry can’t bring himself to reply, so he just keeps staring. Alex looks at him for a few more seconds, eyes wide, blinking furiously, before swiftly turning on the spot and walking away from him and into the woods, but not before Henry can see the distraught look on his face.”—
Henry and Alex first met and fell in love as teenagers, while on holiday in Jamaica. Ten years later, they run into each other again, and have to deal with the emotional fallout of how things ended last time. And fall in love again along the way, of course.
