   Summary

   After it starts, it doesn’t feel like a mistake.

   Not in the quiet corners of the library, or the stolen moments between classes, or the way James learns how to be gentle just for him.

   But Regulus Black has always known how stories like this end.

   So he pulls away first.

   James is left with something that was never meant to last—and proof that, for a while, it was real.
