    Summary

    Louis turned the corner to head to Niall and Lewis’ music shop, and slammed right into someone.

    “Shit,” Louis gasped, gripping the person’s shoulders in an attempt to remain standing. “God, I’m so sorry!”

    “No, I’m sorry,” the man said. “Uh, you steady?”

    “Oh, yeah. Sorry again.” Louis blinked a few times and then took a step back. It was only then that he finally glanced up to the man’s eyes. They were a clear, bright green, and curly brown hair fell onto his forehead.

    “I should probably…” The man trailed off, motioning towards the antique shop behind Louis.

    “Right, sorry,” Louis apologized again, stepping aside.

    “It’s alright. Have a good day.”

    “You too,” Louis replied as the man disappeared around the corner.

    By the age of 30, Louis' entire life trajectory had changed from what he'd thought it would be. He moved back to the town he grew up in and did his best to pull himself and his life back together again.

    Four years, seven months, and sixteen days after the day that changed everything, Louis turns a corner and literally runs into the man who just might change it all again.
