    Summary

    “Henry, you remember my son, Alex Claremont-Diaz – my younger, slightly less-reliable child?”

    Here we go, Alex thinks, turning toward an all-too-familiar face – Henry Fox Mountchristen, the poster boy of a dutiful politician’s son. Blond hair, blue eyes, unwrinkled from shoulder to wingtips. A DC Ken doll. On the list of Alex’s least-favorite people. If he had such a list. Which he doesn’t.

    “Henry,” Alex says, holding out a hand to shake.

    “Alex,” Henry says. “Well done. As a younger, slightly less reliable child myself, I think you’ve executed your brief perfectly – ensuring your elder sibling appears to best advantage.” He nods at June, who smiles back.

    “Cute. Thanks,” Alex says. Jesus Christ. Why does he always want to murder this guy?

    Or:
    Five, plus one, plus one more, parallel universes in which Alex runs into Henry at a party.

    Summary

    Henry is forty-two and stuck in the same job he took at twenty-four. After a particularly ugly divorce, he’s also tremendously, depressingly single.

    Alex is forty-one, works 80 hours a week as partner in a law firm and hardly speaks to his son. He’s also happily, promiscuously single.

    They meet at a speed-dating event. Life happens.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    I’ll be honest, I hated how Henry and Alex (and their friends) aren’t characterized like I know and love them.

    But …

    Chapter 1 was so well written that I kept reading and reading. And now I’m sure I want to reread, so I bookmarked this.

    —> okay, I only now knowvthat this is what this author does. But the fic is always captivating and I want to bookmark all the fics they write..

    They’re both wrong.

    This is their story.
