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.---
Edit: Surprise! Chapter count is now 14 instead of 9 — chapters 10+ are epilogues 😌

Summary
“Wanna practice kissing again?” Charlie whispered, warm breath infused with Moscato and sweet berries tickling Nick’s ear.
Nick’s eyes, dazed like peering through a veil of melted honey, widened.
“I–” Nick breathed, gripping the cup in his hand with so much force he thought the plastic might crack. “Yes.”
“Yeah?” Charlie asked, batting thick, dark lashes up at Nick’s flustered expression. “You don’t have to say yes, you know.”
“I can’t imagine ever saying no to you."
or, the one where nick has his first date with a boy and is nervous about what comes afterwards. charlie, his best friend, offers to help.

Until a chance encounter at a farmer's market throws them back together and Charlie realises there was more to his straight boy crush than met the eye.
OR
Nick Nelson has to consider what kind of man he wants to be, is love a choice and a commitment to be honoured or is he willing to choose another life even if it means hurting those around him.
