Summary
“I just want to know,” you held up one finger, shaking and furious, “was there ever one time where you picked up on what I was putting down? Even if you didn’t reciprocate, even if you ignored me, did you ever notice?”
Gerard inhaled sharply. “Yeah. Yeah, I did.”
Or, alternatively: an ex-friend walks back into your life, married and successful, while you’re beat down on your luck and jaded. Despite your bitter attitude, you figure he’s just trying to be nice, so you’ll humor him.
You learn that neither money nor fame has brought him peace—more surprisingly, his marriage hasn’t been a perfect bed either. And then, quickly, the casual reconnection spirals into something neither of you expected. Hurt, open, stupid and exposed, there’s no way forward other than to keep going until you unravel each other completely.
