    Summary

    Davey takes his nephew on an outing one summer day in Manhattan, turns his back for one minute, and a stranger is pulling the kid out of the river. But it’s okay, right? His nephew is fine, and what Sarah doesn’t know won’t hurt her. After all, what are the odds that he’ll ever meet the stranger again? It’s New York City. Anything could happen.

    And anything does.

    Maybe there are red strings of fate threading through the universe. Maybe some things are always meant to happen, it’s only a matter of time.

    Summary

    David Jacobs was not a particularly impulsive individual. He'd had the same best friend since the third grade (Jack Kelly), been in love with said best friend since freshman year, and was perfectly happy with pining silently until the day he died, so long as things remained the same. Senior year rolled around, and the aforementioned best friend got a girlfriend. New relationships toss David and Jack's relationship into turmoil, and David finds that the consequences of acting before thinking can be unfortunately extreme.

    Summary

    Sometimes, a weight can build up so gradually that you don’t even realize you’re holding it, until someone invites you to lay it down. In other words: Sarah Jacobs was not made to hold her entire family on her shoulders.

    Summary

    It was an illness that could've been avoided easily, if David would've just guarded his heart more closely. Still, he found himself hacking up the contents of his aching lungs in an uncomfortably cramped alleyway with thoughts of Jack Kelly clouding his head, and he realized that there really wasn't any coming back from this. He'd made a mistake and his life was totally and completely ruined over a boy who'd never spare him a second glance.

    It was almost laughable, how much David loved Jack. He was a pathetic mess over the boy, with tiny blue flower petals stuck to his lips and chin, and visions of deep brown eyes swimming through his mind. David was lovelorn. Really and truly lovesick.

    Summary

    Jack just knew, deep in his chest, that Davey wasn't telling him something. He was a bad liar to begin with, but the shifty glances and hasty exits had almost grown to be too much as of late. There was something happening and Jack was ridiculously out of the loop, which was beyond frustrating. Wasn't he supposed to be in the loop? Weren't he and Dave supposed to be best friends, or selling partners or co-presidents or whatever? He was tired of trying to catch that anxious green gaze, tired of chasing after answers.

    What in the world could've been bothering Davey enough to push him to this level of silence? Jack was bound and determined to get to the bottom of it, even if it meant pushing his other priorities aside.
