Summary
“Are you... are you still attracted to me?” Alex blurts out, and he keeps his eyes locked on the wardrobe in front of him, 'refuses to turn around to see the pity he knows will be lacing Henry’s demeanor like cloyed honey.
It’s quiet for all of a moment and Alex can picture his boyfriend behind him as he hears rather than sees him set his book down on his nightstand before sitting up more, ‘can picture the duvet pooling around his waist.
“Of course I am Alex, what on earth gave you any indication that said otherwise?” Henry asks incredulously
Or: Henry's been ignoring Alex's advances on him for a few weeks now. Alex gets in his head about. Henry explains what's really going on.
Or: Henry's meds were changed and he's dealing with one of the side effects (sex drive)

Summary
If someone had told Alex Claremont-Diaz at age fourteen that the boy he viewed as his mortal enemy and most infuriating competitor, the boy with eyes the same color as the sky on a clear summer day and hair that shone like spun gold in bright sunlight, would one day change the course of his entire life, he probably would have cracked them square in the face with a tennis ball.

Summary
Henry meets his eyes. “The school called me,” he says gently. “Because no one had come to get Isabel and you weren’t answering your phone.”
There’s a half-second of earsplitting silence, and then Alex scrambles for his phone, out of Henry’s grip until he finds it on the bed and quickly unlocks it with trembling fingers.
— a panic-induced episode causes alex to miss preschool pickup, and he spirals but luckily, his husband and daughter are there to pick up the pieces.

Summary
Three years after Ellen Claremont’s re-election, a series of complex, cumulative events lead Alex and Henry to decide they need to break up: it’s mutual, and it breaks both of their hearts to pieces. Ten years after that, circumstances bring them back together and they have to decide whether trying again is worth the risk. Life changes, and then changes again, over two conversations.

Summary
Normally, Alex runs the one-point-three miles across Georgetown from his brownstone to the hospital, where he showers and changes in the locker room before grabbing his second coffee of the day and starting his shift.
Today, he only makes it two blocks before the gray skies open up, and he’s stuck in a deluge, seeking refuge beneath the neutral-colored awnings in front of the bougie boutiques that line M Street and dodging the spray from passing cars on his way to the bus stop.
He’s soaked by the time he makes it there, his moisture-wicking running top taking all it can handle and his hair plastered to his forehead.
There’s a crowd of people huddled beneath the shelter. Half of them give him apologetic smiles while the others stare blankly into the rain, and none of them make any move to give up their spot for him.
He wouldn’t take it anyway. It’s his own stupid fault for chancing it without even grabbing an umbrella or a hooded jacket.
“Lovely weather, isn’t it?”
Alex rolls his eyes and turns around. Behind him, Dr. Fox is standing beneath an umbrella, bone dry and dressed in an impeccably tailored suit, his hair perfectly styled, not a blond strand out of place.
