    Summary

    Alex runs into Henry in Central Park three years after Henry broke his heart and disappeared from his life.
    Henry is barely recognizable—thinner, sicker, bald beneath a summer beanie, and on his way to another round of chemotherapy after spending more than a year battling neuroblastoma alone.
    Some things are too broken to fix. Some apologies come too late.
    But no one should have to face cancer alone.

    Summary

    The beach is always changing.

    Alex finds it ironic that this is the first time in his life he's letting himself sit still, and it’s in a place that is never the same twice. Waves come in and replace the sand and silt with every swell. People leave behind footprints that mix and overlap and then wear away. Sand castles are built, destroyed, and built again differently.

    It's a place consistent in its inconsistency.

    But for now, it's home. Or something like it.

    Summary

    Alex feels like his life is falling apart. His girlfriend broke up with him because she thinks he’d rather be married to his job than to her. He fucking hates his job. Obviously, this is a clear fucking sign that he should get a tattoo. A big one.

    What Alex doesn’t expect when he walks into the tattoo studio, is to be faced with his past and regrets he’s been living with for a decade.

    Maybe it’s a sign – June would call it fate. Whatever it is, Alex hopes it might lead to a second chance.

    OR

    In the present, Alex knows that he's bi. Henry still causes him gay (bi) panic.

    Summary

    “Hazza, darling,” Percy coos through the cell bars. “Your knights in shining armour have arrived. Alex is talking to the police officer and sorting out the legal stuff, and I am here for moral support.”

    Alex Alex?”

    “Yes, Hazza. Your Alex.”

    He’s certainly not Henry’s Alex. Not anymore.

    “Surely you could have called someone else?”

    “All I know is that I rang him and said we have a damsel in distress and he was at my front door ten minutes later.”

    --

    Henry ends up in jail after a terrible first date. It's pretty convenient that his best friend is a lawyer. If only they were still speaking to each other.
