    Summary

    Alex’s hatred of Henry had started the way most gym rivalries start—with theft. Equipment theft, to be precise. Henry had stolen the squat rack Alex had been marching toward with righteous purpose. And, of course, that was practically a capital offense in Alex’s book, on top of the spectacularly shitty day he’d already been having. Henry wasn’t just a stranger in compression shorts anymore—he was an enemy. His gym nemesis. His arch-rival in spandex or skimpy little shorts depending on the day.

    So the fact that there was now awkward flirting between them was confusing and infuriating and—if Alex were being honest with himself—kind of fucking hot.

    Summary

    Loud, heaving sobs like there is something feral inside him, beating at his chest; like wind is rattling through a hollow vessel; like someone has Henry in the palm of their hand and is squeezing, squeezing, squeezing until he cannot take the pressure.

    Everyone breaks eventually.

    “I hate this,” Henry says through his sobs. “I hate this so fucking much.”

    “I know, baby,” Alex whispers and when Henry looks up, he’s crying as well. “Me too.”

    Summary

    Alex didn’t plan to be a dad.

    Scratch that. Alex hasn’t even thought about being a dad. Kids are something for future Alex to—maybe, possibly—someday consider, once he has his shit together.

    Present-day Alex doesn’t know how to feel and what to think. His career has just started to grow wings.

    But the thought of having a child and knowingly abandoning it—just like he was abandoned—Alex can’t even think about that.

    Or: When Alex knocks up his one-night stand and ends up raising the child as a single parent, his roommate steps in to help.
