A temporary arrangement, they tell themselves.
Just until spring.But as the long winter closes in, firewood isn’t the only thing they learn to share—and trust isn’t the only thing quietly, inevitably growing between them.

“Come again?”
“Alex. When we shook hands, he made me feel warm.”

“Maybe you don’t have to be cold anymore, Haz. I know we said we wouldn’t talk about it but I do think you should meet up with him. What do you have to lose?”
Everything, Henry thought bitterly.

Summary
“Oxford, like twenty years ago—” Twenty-one, actually. “I was there for a term abroad. We had a class together.” Alex huffs a disbelieving laugh and pushes a hand back through his curls. “We, uh, well. There was that party after final exams…”
“I’m so sorry, I don’t recall that one” Henry lies, flashing an apologetic smile. “I don’t remember the details of most of those uni parties these days.”
(Twenty years ago, Henry met—and let go of—his soulmate. Now he's in his 40s, with a new job in a new city, and certainly not expecting said soulmate to come barreling into his life again. A small white lie seems like the simplest way to keep things from getting awkward, but real life has a way of getting complicated.)

Summary
The entire world has it on video. Alex stumbling forward, straight into Henry’s shoulder, knocking him back into the table and then crumbling to the ground, the cake falling on top of them. Everyone thinks Alex was drunk, or that he hates him, or that he’s immature or unfit for his title, but none of it’s the truth. Everyone’s acting like it’s the end of the world regardless.
And maybe, for Alex, it kind of is.

[Or, the way things might have played out if Alex had been diagnosed with type one diabetes after the royal wedding.]
