    Summary

    ... it settles into those cracks and crevices of his heart, like something indestructible and permanent.

    In the same way that they are permanent.

    In that moment, sandwiched between the two loves of his life as they hold him together, Henry vows to himself that he’ll be theirs forever in every single way. He is already theirs in his heart and in his mind, but he thinks of marrying Alex and adopting Brie and aches for that reality.

    He simply must make it so.

    Summary

    "You want me at a ball?"

    "I want you with me as often as possible," Henry says, immediately, as if it's obvious. Maybe it is. "But yes, it would be nice to have you there. I'm not necessarily actively trying to anger my grandmother, which you being there might, but... Well, she hasn't exactly extended an invitation but I have just as much right as anyone to bring a date and--"

    "Baby." Henry's rambling stops short on what nearly sounds like a gasp, and Alex grins to himself. Sometimes, his boyfriend is too easy. "Do you want me there?"

    "Yes."

    "Then I'll be there."

    Summary

    When the guy bends to grab the ball, his little, white shorts lift, and all Alex can focus on is the way those thighs move and the sheer power behind them. He’s focusing so hard he doesn’t notice the incline of the sidewalk, nor the rock in front of him. And then, naturally, he’s bowling over and falling on his ass before he even realises what’s happening.

    He may as well just die. Lay here and succumb to his wounds. Here lies Alex Claremont-Diaz, twenty-two and useless. Cause of death? Hot guy in slutty little shorts.

    “Oh dear,” He hears, exceedingly British and posh and deep, and he lifts his head. Maybe death was a little premature of an idea after all. “Are you alright?”

    Summary

    Henry thinks they’re doing just fine.

    Right now, however, he thinks Bea has lost her fucking mind.

    “Absolutely not, Bea.”

    Henry.”

    Henry scoffs, casting his eyes toward the ceiling. “I hate it when you use that tone with me.”

    “The tone I use when I’m right?” Bea says, intent on provoking him. “Henry, I’m only asking that you—”

    “No.”

    “It’s one date.”

    “On bloody Valentine’s Day, Beatrice.”

    Summary

    Alex blinks down at his hands again, studying the lines more carefully. The marks are faded, like they were made days ago, and they’re not painful so much as irritated, like they weren’t made by his own hands. He touches one of the marks, and there’s only the slightest sting in response.

    No, definitely not his.

    And if the marks aren’t his, then they must be—

    It hits him like a slap in the face, his breath catching in his throat. He pushes back from his desk and stares at his skin for so long that he gets a little cross-eyed.

    They belong to his soulmate.

    Alex has a soulmate.
