    Summary

    31 year old Nick Nelson retired from professional rugby and is giving Sarah Nelson a well-deserved year off from running Lavender Fields Bed and Breakfast. And Nick’s doing fine, thank you very much. Until the guest name C. Spring changes everything.

    Note: 1-31 are the original story (Nick's point of view). Chapters 32 - 60 are from when Charlie bullied me into providing his perspective, too.

    Cinnamon Admit Two Charlie Spring and guest

    English School Curriculum Institute Annual Dinner

    September 20th 2024

    Tao has agreed to be Charlie's plus one for his annual work party. It is going to be boring, and there is going to be a lot of noise, and at least some of that noise will be Charlie sighing over his work crush, unattainable primary school teacher Nick Nelson, who has been seconded to develop the primary curriculum and ruin Charlie’s life. Tao Xu, best friend, flatmate, successful photographer, and reluctant listener, feels like he knows everything there is to know about Nick Nelson. (It turns out that this is not, in fact, the case.)

     

    Tao is a good friend, which is why he is going to Charlie’s boring work party, and all he can hope is that the free food and beverages will make up for him having to witness embarrassing, intense pining.

     

    Tao talks to Charlie’s work crush and everyone has a fresh moment of discovery. I am excited to post this for the countdown!
