Summary
“This isn’t your world, Hank. You’re not meant to be here.”
And, yeah, maybe this wasn’t his world. All these double-sided comments and shadowy maneuvers, power figures pulling strings from the background, felt so wrong to him. So duplicitous. So antithetical to the honest person he prided himself on being.
But he wasn’t going to leave. Not when Boris – his sweet, lovely, sensitive man – had lived like this his whole life, forced to hide any traces of emotion or vulnerability behind an icy exterior. First his father, then his cousins, then magical society at large. With their implicit expectations, ready to pounce on the most minute weakness, they’d drawn him ever deeper into this pulsating web of deceit. Sure, maybe Hank didn’t belong – but neither did Boris. Nobody deserved to live like this.
So, he responded, “Honestly? I don’t think anyone’s meant to be here.”

Summary
Being invited to every single one of Ms. Newberg's parties for the rest of forever isn't too terrible, though Hank would rather be spending his weekend on his couch with a beer unwinding. He'll give it an hour, put in enough time to please his host, and sneak away to enjoy the rest of the night. His plans change when Boris arrives and sneaking off to sit in the side garden where no party goers will venture seems like a more pleasant way to pass the time. Unfortunately for him, it seems the past wants to catch up with him in the Hamptons of all places, but Boris has a plan to make it all work out in the end.

Summary
Catherine Lawson grew tired of waiting on a partner who never put their family first, so she found someone who would.
Or in which Mrs. Newberg married a different Lawson and everything is better for it. She just wants her boys to be happy, and if that means interfering with Hank’s love life against his wishes, then so be it. Mother knows best after all.

pool boylifeguard. Not that this gossip interests Boris in any way, even if the newpool boylifeguard is an attractive pre-med student in tight-fitting shorts who is as unimpressed with Marshall Bryant's life choices as Boris.
