    Summary

    The screen rolled on: photos of Henry at a charity gala, at a podium, in that stupid wrinkled shirt he wore whenever Alex wasn’t around to stop him. A candid photo of them—him and Alex—laughing at some benefit dinner. A photo Alex didn’t even know existed.

    They were showing a fucking memorial montage. As if he was—as if he was—

    All he could hear was the echo of Henry’s voice, soft and sure: “I’ll be home before you even miss me.”
    Part of Alex, small and foolish and desperately human, still believed him.

    or: there’s a fire at the Mountchristen estate. it destroys everything, including Alex’s life.
