Summary
Louis never thought he had a problem. Sure, he dabbled, took some pills here, took a line there, but it was all just part of the fun. Until his mum found a bag of molly in his sock drawer and shipped him off to rehab for ten weeks before he could even think of an excuse.
Harry on the other hand, has always known he had a problem. He just never thought anyone else would notice. But when his mum caught him stealing her tilidine perscription she shipped him off as well, whether it was because she cared or was annoyed her pill bottle kept emptying itself, Harry wasn‘t sure.
Thrown together in a place neither of them wanted to be, Louis and Harry form an unlikely bond, one built on whispered confessions during sleepless nights, quiet companionship in group therapy and the raw, aching need to be understood. As the months turn into years they get closer and closer until they‘re essentially attached at the hip.

Summary
Louis is married and a father to a bright, sensitive seven-year-old named Finn. Life is fine. Predictable. Comfortable in the way denial often is, until a boy named Alfie from Finn’s class starts spending more and more time at their house.
And Alfie’s dad, Harry, is hard to ignore.
Somehow Louis never really noticed him before, not until their kids became inseparable. Not until school pick-up turned into lingering conversations. Not until Harry’s laugh started living in Louis’ head.
They build a fast friendship. Easy. Familiar. Harmless. Or so Louis thinks, until the lads give him shit for how often he brings up Harry.
And suddenly Louis is noticing everything. The way Harry talks with his hands. The way he crouches to tie Alfie’s shoes. The way Louis feels when he sees him.
And for the first time in years, he’s not sure pretending is going to be enough.
