    Summary

    Having just graduated from university with a law degree he never wanted, Wille chooses to follow his own path against his family’s wishes and opens up a quiet, cozy bookstore in the city. The store is doing well, tourists wander in during the weekends, and locals have started calling him by name. There’s even a little book club that meets in the back on Thursdays. On paper, he should feel proud. He is proud. He’s finally doing what he loves and he’s genuinely happy.

    But some nights, especially the rainy ones like this one, he feels the hollowness anyway. The missing thing. The question with no answer. He doesn’t know what it is exactly that’s missing, just that something is. He can feel it.

    Then, as if straight out of the many romance novels that stock his shelves, a beautiful boy with dark eyes and dark curls, and soaking wet from the storm, bursts into his quiet shop looking for a vinyl, and everything changes.

    Summary

    Sweet, lovely, persuasive little thing. Wilhelm felt intoxicated every time he so much as thought of him. His mouth ached with the need to say Simon’s name, his lips burned with the memories, and his heart twisted with a tenderness that made him feel almost fragile.
    He could only pray it was a temporary madness that would fade with time, because he knew too well that nothing could come of it, not really. Still, he was certain he'd never felt this way before. And he was careful in his assessment, too: he’d always rolled his eyes at the characters on TV shows who whispered, lovesick and doe-eyed, “I have never felt this way about anyone ever.”

     


    Wilhelm is caught in a consuming infatuation with someone who can never truly be his. Struggling to reconcile his feelings, he tries to ignore the longing, but it lingers, a constant ache beneath the surface. Meanwhile, Simon is overwhelmed by the burdens of his work and the unresolved ghosts of his past, leaving little room for anything else. As he navigates his tangled emotions, love seems like the last thing on his mind — until, perhaps, it isn’t.
