    Summary

    Henry is forty-two and stuck in the same job he took at twenty-four. After a particularly ugly divorce, he’s also tremendously, depressingly single.

    Alex is forty-one, works 80 hours a week as partner in a law firm and hardly speaks to his son. He’s also happily, promiscuously single.

    They meet at a speed-dating event. Life happens.

    Summary

    It happens momentarily, the first time Alex sees him again. Time slows nearly to a stop— never mind the fact that he’s mid-pour; the bottle of Johnnie Walker Blue he’s using as a floater tipped just so, the golden liquid spilling into the rocks glass getting dangerously close to overflowing.

    In the back of the crowd, on a typically busy Friday night at Allegory, a flash of blond hair pulls Alex’s attention; which wouldn’t be anything new— Alex has a type— except for the laugh cutting clearly through the murmur of conversations. The bright bubble of incandescent joy that he’s somehow still entirely too familiar with, a laugh he would recognize anywhere, regardless of the number of years since it was last heard.

    Or; What happens when you let Fate do her thing? Sometimes it takes 10 years.

    Summary

    Henry finds himself stopping at a listing, eyes drawn to the lines posted. He doesn’t know exactly why, but he finds himself unable to look away.

    PART TIME NANNY NEEDED.

    I’m a single dad, a lawyer, and (almost? adopted) dad to a beautiful set of 8-year-old twins. I love them more than life itself; unfortunately, as a lawyer, I struggle to be home as much as I should be. I just need someone who doesn’t mind working a little late sometimes and who is good with kids. Dogs are a definite bonus.

    Sorry if this is a little all over the place, my sister told me that I’m taking on too much and while she would be here more if she could, she also travels for work. So. Yeah. Text me at the number below if interested.

    Before he realizes what he’s even doing, Henry pulls out his phone and texts the number.
