    Summary

    Ten years ago, Nick Nelson and Charlie Spring broke up after one disastrous night — the kind of fight that leaves two people hurt, silent, and blocked on every social platform.

    They moved on.
    Or at least, they tried to.

    A decade later, both of them are adults living in London.

    Nick is a warm, steady primary school teacher.
    Charlie is a weary editor who spends his days fixing love stories he no longer believes in.

    They take the same trains.
    Cross the same streets.
    Scroll through the same dating apps.

    And somewhere in the noise of grown-up life, they both reopen Hinge — without knowing the other is there too.

    They’re older now.
    Different now.
    Strangers, almost.
    But maybe not as far apart as they think.

    Some stories don’t end.
    They just take the long way back.

    Summary

    Try as he might, Charlie couldn’t quite quell his nerves.

    He bit at his thumb nail, which was already bitten down more than enough. He pulled his hand away from his mouth, shaking his head slightly as he walked up to the office doors. He’d been inside the building a handful of times now, twice for interviews, and once for his orientation day, but he still checked the sign on the door, making sure he had the right address.

    He’d also looked it up on Google maps again too, just in case he somehow forgot the directions. He was well aware of how stupid it might be for him to worry so much but it was his first official full day of work, he couldn’t afford to be late because he somehow forgot what building he was going into. He was also incredibly aware he was catastrophizing but therapy also taught him it was fine to catastrophize, as long as he knew that’s what it was.

    He was fine, nothing was going to happen to him, he just had to keep that in mind.

    (Or Charlie and Nick are living together in domestic bliss, but when Charlie starts a new job and Geoff retires, he finds himself struggling to stay on track.)

    Summary

    “This isn’t how I wanted this conversation to start,” she begins with another hefty sigh and he notes that she’s avoiding his eyes completely. 

    What the hell is going on?

    “What conversation, what’s going on?”

    She runs her fingers through her hair and looks at him. She’s still avoiding his eyes.

    “Baby…” she whispers. “Would you be open to the idea of… opening the marriage?”

    And, just like that, everything inside Nick’s brain comes screeching to a halt.

    Summary

    "Nick got a postcard a couple of days later with a complex tree with intertwining vines that was absolutely beautiful, and he spent a long moment looking it over. Flipping it, he saw “Nathan Ajayi and Youssef Farouk” at the bottom first, and his heart warmed a little from its perpetually grey state. Above their names was the note: 'There isn't enough paint in the world to work through this grief. Please don't tell yourself that you have to suffer on your own. We're here if you need us.' "

     

    Nick in the world without his beloved Charlie.

    Summary

    Nick works at an experimental matchmaking project called The Compatibility Lab — part dating service, part social experiment, funded by a bizarre tech startup trying to disrupt “the loneliness economy.”

    The twist? Employees cannot be matched themselves. Nick’s fine with that — he’s just doing this because it fits around his rugby schedule.

    Then Charlie Spring walks in. Nervous, snarky, chronically self-sabotaging. Nick logs him as Client #143.
