    Summary

    Alex would say that this date is going really, really well.

    It hurts to admit because he now owes Nora a six-pack of beer, but he’ll happily swallow his pride if it means he gets to spend as much time as humanly possible with the cute librarian with the elbow patches who’d asked him out last week.

    The cute librarian, Henry, is not wearing any elbow patches this evening, but is instead dressed in cream linen pants and a soft blue oversized shirt. There’s a slight sheen of sweat on his skin, on his collar bones, down his neck from the balmy New York air but instead of being gross, the way Alex probably is, it’s sinful. He’s glowing. Alex wants to lick his throat. Jesus, he could have sworn he was straight a minute ago.

    Or, Henry asks Alex on a date. Alex, straight, accepts.

    Summary

    On a rainy star-drenched mess of a Sunday evening, Thomas finds himself trapped in a time loop that seems hell-bent on subjecting him to every imaginable way there is to die, over and over again. Fortunately, he’s not the only one trapped. Unfortunately, the man he’s trapped with is lying to him like it’s going out of style, and he’s ending up with more questions than answers.

    Strange beautiful empty men, girls that burn like starfire, dusty cards and sprawling feasts and dancing in the moonlight. This night’s got to end at some point, right?

    Summary

    “One more thing you should know,” Pez adds as Henry takes the invitation from him. “June Claremont-Diaz is coming.”

    Henry freezes.

    June Claremont-Diaz isn’t the problem. She’s a lovely girl, and her articles about their shelter openings have always been kind. Pez has invited her to each fundraiser since the Los Angeles shelters’ opening, and she’s attended every single one, happy to participate in the theme if she can get a good article out of it.

    No, the problem isn’t June Claremont-Diaz. The problem is her brother.

    Or, Henry and Pez’s new shelter is opening in Brooklyn, and Henry is determined to spend the entire night avoiding Alex, while Alex is determined to do the exact opposite of that.

    Summary

    “So what you’re telling me is that you’ve begun some kind of weird aggressive mating ritual with an English professor,” Nora says around obscenely large bites of her burrito.

    “How the fuck—” Alex splutters, because he honestly has no clue how she came to that conclusion. “We’re not flirting. We’re at war.”

    (It starts with a polite request to erase the whiteboards at the end of class. It gets a lot more ridiculous before it ends.)

    Summary

    “I’m glad you both see it that way,” Dr. Chen says. Then she closes her notebook and folds her hands on top of it. “I think I’m starting to get a sense of where the issues lie. The good news is that you’re both here, and you’re both willing to work on this relationship. That’s promising. Not all of the couples I see are even at that point.”

    “Sorry, what?” Henry says, voicing Alex’s stuttering thoughts as well.

    (After one too many fights at work, Henry and Alex are assigned mandatory reconciliation therapy by their boss. Except the therapist thinks they're there for couples therapy... and surely, a bet on who will break first makes more sense than actually correcting her, right?)
