Summary
“They're streets in the same city, and sometimes they intersect. I think I'm already planted at that intersection. I'm already under its streetlights.” - Billy-Ray Belcourt
Charlie Spring is at his wits' end. After a decade of keeping his panic attacks at bay, they're suddenly back with a vengeance, threatening to derail the life he's meant to be planning with his fiancé Ben. The only glimmer of hope is his therapist's suggestion that he might have success with a service dog.
Nick Nelson is back at square one. He's six months out of a failed long-term relationship, living at home again, and completely directionless. He loves working at his family's service dog agency, Second Chance, but he needs more than that to keep him afloat.
Or: Nick and Charlie never sat together in form. They never dated. They both moved through life separately, suceeding and failing in small measures, until a chance meeting in their late twenties brought them back into each others' orbit.

Summary
When Charlie Spring is eleven-years-old he watches his neighbour and best friend drive away as his family moves to Scotland, never to be seen again. Until, that is, Charlie is twenty-seven and Nick Nelson answers an advert for a new flatmate…
or, as the tweet that inspired this said;
Childhood friends to estranged acquaintances to roommates to friends to lovers.
A story of second chances and fate, if you believe in that sort of thing.
