   Summary

   Healy has a problem on his hands.

   Usually when that happens, he can retrace his steps. He can go back and understand where that problem actually originated from. But not this time: because if Healy has to think back to when it all started, it’s really hard to find that one thread to pull on. There is no one clear starting-point, no one catalyst (catalyst, noun: a person or thing that provokes or speeds significant change or action) that could be held responsible for the weird feeling that is currently occupying his chest.

   Because for one reason or another – he has fallen head over ass for his annoying, handsome, loud-mouthed, charming, alcoholic mess of a best friend.

   So yeah, he’s fucked.

   But he’s getting ahead of himself.
