Summary
It’s the autumn of 1990 when Lt. Colonel Mitchell Iverson—aged thirty-five, formerly of Lawrence, Kansas and the US Army—first shares drinks with Bennett Martínez, a feisty, young reporter and queer activist. Neither of them plans to fall in love. Surely, Mitch has too much damage and baggage for someone like Bennett, who must have something broken in him, with all the men who’ve said that he’s too much.
Yet, as time goes by and they grow closer, Mitch and Bennett find in each other unexpected balance and belonging.
It’s the autumn of 2013 when Dr. Mitchell Iverson—aged fifty-eight, of Kaltenecker University’s physics department—first meets Takashi Shirogane, twin to one of Mitch’s grad students and currently a fucking mess. Fresh out of rehab and an abusive relationship, struggling with sobriety and an eating disorder, Shiro wants to get well without addressing all the reasons why he isn’t. For his own part, Mitch wants to help, but he’s definitely only looking to be a friend, not to go adopting anybody.
Either way, things would be easier if Shiro would open up or else stop being interesting. Since he won’t do the latter, though, Mitch will need to get creative about getting to know him.
