Summary
James' life spirals out of control after the events of Life Born of Fire, a downward trajectory so steep and so sudden Lewis finally has to intervene.
“No time for hangovers, Sergeant,” Lewis says, and gives him a look that’s almost worried, almost fond, but never quite as much as James would hope for. Almost—the story of his life, isn’t it? Always falling just a tiny bit short. Almost cared for, almost chosen, almost loved.
Last night, though. Last night was a jolt straight to the heart. Wanted, desired, touched. A kindled flame in his chest keeping him warm, rose-red and quietly his own. Another one-night stand, sure, but one he chose.
