    Summary

    He doesn’t look like a tourist, he hopes, dressed in jeans, sneakers, and a jacket with only a backpack slung over one shoulder, but he still tries to keep a steady pace, tries to look like he knows where he’s going, like he hasn’t spent the last 6 years google-mapping the same address every day, staring at the windows on the street view, hoping for a glimpse of him.
    85 Margaretta Terrace.
    Henry had told him 31 years, or 6 years, or a lifetime ago.


    Alex travels to London, looking for a long-lost King.

    Summary

    “Oh, sweetheart,” Henry breathes, sitting beside him in the lounge chair, quickly grasping Alex’s hand in his own.

    Immediately, Alex knows what Henry is going to say. “No, I know,” he says quickly.

    Henry shakes his head at him. “No, I don't think you do,” he says in a hoarse voice. Alex looks closely at his husband and observes the dark circles under his eyes. It doesn’t look like he slept at all, and a pit forms in his stomach at the thought.

    “And even if you do,” Henry continues. “I need to say it. We are going to fight this,” he says firmly. “And we are going to go wherever we have to go, see whoever we have to see, and we are going to win. Because I'm not going to let anything happen to you.”

     

    Five years after moving to Austin, Henry and Alex are new parents to a beautiful baby boy, the light of their life. Alex is a stay-at-home Dad, while Henry is President of the Okonjo Foundation, breaking barriers to open a new shelter in Austin. Being new parents while balancing their career shifts is challenging enough. But when Alex receives a devastating diagnosis, will it bring them closer together, or drive them further apart?

    Summary

    The day Henry’s dad died, he told himself that nothing would ever hurt as bad as that did. But now, sitting next to Alex’s hospital bed, he’s not so sure 18-year old him was correct. His heart feels like it’s shattered into a million pieces. His mind goes back to this morning- to the uneasy feeling he had in his gut, and he tries to think of ways this could have been avoided.
