    Summary

    For his relatively short life, Henry has encountered enough tragedy. As a nurse, he was prepared for it – trained, even – and always carried it with strength, compassion and healthy distance. As a person, he struggled with it deeply.
    A year ago, he thought his life had ended. Six months ago, Hans came into his life and started gathering all his broken pieces, putting them back together bit by bit.
    And now, in their new shared apartment, he’s supposed to finally turn a new leaf. Except he can’t.
    Because not all wounds heal the way they should. Because just loving someone is enough – until it isn’t. And because when he’s losing himself, he’s losing everything else as well.
    ***
    A story about grief, love and moving on.
    A story where Henry and Hans love each other deeply, but their happily-ever-after is still a long way ahead. And if they want to chase it down, they’ll have to leave something behind.
