    Summary

    Some men would call Henry a fool.

    He’s standing at a bar an hour to midnight in a packed nightclub on New Years Eve hoping to catch sight of a man he’s met all of once. Perhaps fool is too lighthearted a word for what he is. Foolishly optimistic—though, he’s never been deemed the optimistic sort before, he supposes there’s a first for everything.

    Some people, people like Pez, who are standing watch—or, rather, dancing watch from a respectable distance away—call Henry a reformed fool. Because the fool part came a year ago when he let the world’s most perfect match disappear into a crowd and out of Henry’s life with the promise of returning in a year.

    Summary

    He closes his eyes and takes a deep, shuddering breath, because this is the first time he’s allowed himself to accept that sentence for what it is. Alex loves him. There are a thousand years between now and Rio and falling in love and accepting it’ll never be reciprocated. A thousand kisses and a dozen hotel rooms. Texts and FaceTime calls and—and

    Henry can’t say goodbye to all that.

    He can’t.

    He opens his eyes.

    He won’t.

    --

    Or, Henry leaves the lake house, but.
