    Summary

    Eoin has always thought — or maybe wished — that he’ll be able to tell the moment he meets the love of his life. Their eyes will meet, and it’ll be a sudden realisation, a flash of lightning, and he’ll simply know. He’ll know, and they’ll be able to start their lives together right away, because Eoin McGonigal is a man of many virtues but patience has never been one of them.

    He meets Paddy on a Friday.

    There is no realisation, no lightning. Eoin doesn’t even know his second name. All he gets is a nickname, the vague sense that he’s forgetting something, and a moderate to extreme level of attraction toward the man who had been sitting in front of him.

    If he’d been told Paddy’s second name, maybe it could’ve explained all the other things away. Maybe then he would’ve remembered where exactly he knew him from, and the day he’d had that feeling, lightning and all, all those years ago.
