    Summary

    Eddie Diaz: Ballroom dancer, artist, eldest child, anxious mess.

    His entire life he's known what he has to be. The man of the house, the perfect student, the best dancer... heterosexual. When he meets Evan Buckley, younger brother of fellow dancer Maddie Buckley, his life is flipped upside down.

    ---

    Evan Buckley: Poet, brother, disappointment, and recent amputee.

    His life is at its lowest point. The only person he knows loves him is leaving, and he believes no one will ever stay. But when Eddie Diaz enters his life, he starts thinking, maybe there’s more to life than soul-crushing loneliness.

    ---

    The two of them resume their walk, and Eddie looks curiously at Maddie’s brother. “She talks about you a lot, I’m surprised I didn’t figure it out sooner.”

    The boy hums thoughtfully, then asks, “Do you know my name, then?”

    Eddie shakes his head. “Nope. Somehow I missed that.”

    “It’s Evan.”

    Evan. His brain repeats.

    Eddie stops walking again, and holds out his hand. “Nice to meet you, Evan. I’m Eddie. Diaz.”
    Evan makes sure his crutch is tucked securely under his arm, then quickly takes the offered hand.

    “It’s nice to meet you, too.”
