    Summary

    “My son's been in Los Angeles the last few years, doing fashion, and I think, maybe, he’s a bit lost. Or, he’s having too much fun. Anyway, he’s coming home for the summer, and I want him to spend some time volunteering here. With you.”

    Louis feels a chill down his spine, his eyebrows unintentionally flying towards his hairline. He only knows one person who left Cedaridge for California. A walking contradiction with dimples and ridiculous cheer shorts, too in the clouds to realize how insufferable he was.

    “Sorry, what’s your son’s name?” Louis asks, even though his stomach already knows the answer.

    “Harry,” Robert says. “Harry Styles.”

    -

    Louis Tomlinson has spent years building his small town's LGBTQ+ youth center into a place where people can discover who they are without fear. The last person he expects to walk through its doors is Harry Styles, the privileged former classmate sentenced to a summer of community service. What starts as dreaded coexistence slowly becomes a transformative summer neither of them saw coming, forcing Louis to confront a future he'd never imagined, and Harry to finally face the parts of himself he spent a lifetime trying to ignore.
