    Summary

    "Hello! I'm Alex..." Henry, who was not fully awake until then, was immediately jolted awake by the enthusiasm and dynamism of the so-called Alex. "...Do you feel like there's something missing in your life?.." Yes, that it comes to an end and we don't talk about it anymore, Henry thought. "...And what if you were ready to fill that void with a dream trip to the United States? Our personalized offers guarantee you a tailor-made and unforgettable experience! So, tell me, where would you like to go first?"

    Or

    Alex is a telemarketer and Henry is lonely.

    Picture a slow burn romance, with every chapter unfolding through a phone call between Henry and Alex.

    Summary

    prima facie (law) adj.

    based on the first impression; accepted as correct until proved otherwise

    Henry dislikes Alex. That's alright, though, because Alex dislikes Henry right back.

    But then Henry does something unforgivable. He's kind to Alex. And, Alex? Well, now that he's looking at all the evidence before him, he's realising that on the balance of probabilities ... Henry maybe doesn't dislike him as much as Alex initially thought.

    Or - reference librarian Henry and law student Alex get off on the wrong foot. Several times. They find their way to each other eventually.

    Summary

    Out of all the things Alex knows he’s not done feeling emotional over, being greeted at the door by his husband with their baby propped on his hip has to be number one. Which is why he finds himself a little confused when he walks in the door and finds Henry waiting for him with a stormy look on his face.

    “Good evening, love of my life,” he says, putting his briefcase down by the door. ”And, I guess, hello to you too, Henry.”

    Summary

    Dr. Eden sighs and looks them both in the eyes. “I’m not going to lie to you. There is a possibility that he will never recover his memories. But, there are things we can do to help him along. I’ve already told him about the memory loss. He knows it’s 2023 and that he lost almost four years of memories. I think it may be best to update him on his current situation. His day to day life is drastically different then it was in 2019, is that correct?”

    “Yeah, I would say.” Alex huffs out a bitter laugh.

    Henry is in an accident and thinks it's still 2019. He still believes Alex hates him, and Alex is a just as much of a mess as you think he would be.

    Summary

    “She truly is your daughter, Alex,” Henry sighs, defeated.

    “Fuck off, sweetheart,” he laughs, a soundbite of the sun. Henry forces himself not to physically react, the term of endearment sweet and menacingly familiar coming from Alex’s lips. It’s been years. “You know they’re useful.”

    “Ah yes, eyelashes, truly a formidable instrument in managing international relations.”

    Alex grins, and Henry is too late to catch the slightest downward lilt on the corner of his mouth, “Worked on you once, didn’t it?”

    Oh, did that ache.

     

    (Much had happened since the time Henry had told Alex to leave. Alex had passed the bar, gotten married, had the most beautiful daughter. And Henry, well. He stayed right where he was.)
