Summary
Fourteen months after getting engaged and only 21 weeks after their wedding, Harry can't possibly live with the emptiness any longer--so he leaves.
Harry had been so convinced that he and Louis were infinite that he could barely accept that they did, in fact, have an ending point. That they could, in fact, break. Louis was nothing more than a ghost, and maybe Harry wasn't any different. They didn't know each other. They were just going through the motions. So he leaves.
Four months feels like eternity, and when Louis seems ready to finally bandage up the wounds they'd left on each other, it almost feels like enough to crush the rest of Harry. Except it doesn't, because somehow, in each other's absence they'd gained something they'd been lacking since their marriage began: perspective.
or
The one where Harry leaves and finds out just how many ways a person can break before he's ready to let Louis put him back together.
