Summary
After finishing a less successful tour, Harry finds himself struggling with alcohol, drugs, and casual sex. He intends to clean up his act and enter rehab - just not yet. Then he meets the enigmatic Louis, whose striking looks and charm awaken feelings in Harry that have long been numbed. But Louis proves to be a tougher challenge than Harry’s usual hookups, and he struggles to understand who he really is. As Harry grapples with his growing attraction - and the sting of rejection - he realises he must confront his fear of feeling again.

“I obviously want you for more than just one night."
“You see…” Louis shifts his weight from one foot to the other. “…that’s where I still hesitate.”
“I want you so much, Louis."
“You want to sleep with me. I’m not sure you can handle the thought of not having done that yet. Or the one of being rejected.” Louis says, his voice neither challenging nor harsh - just probing.
“No. It’s more than that.” Harry’s voice is quiet but firm.
“What makes this any different from the endless hookups you’ve had all year?”
“Everything.” Harry whispers with such sincerity that he almost cringes at himself, yet he has never meant it more in his life.
