Summary
The boy is just as content not bothering, defining his edges of the world with the same monochrome graphite he uses to block out shapes in the margins of his notebooks. He doesn’t have anyone to give so much of his emotional energy away for so uselessly in the first place.
One day, normal and like any other, Ken Takakura glances up at the sound of shuffling and only sees pink.

Summary
Lucas would follow Mike into the depths of hell and out into the unknown. He's known this since the day he met him.
Somehow, he didn't think that included following him to Iceland with nothing but Mike's coke fantasies as proof.
Max is going to kill him.

Summary
“It’s like something’s been on your mind for a while and you’re not—you’re just keeping it to yourself.”
Her throat works. “Am I not allowed to do that?”
She doesn’t mean to sound defensive, but the words come out like that anyway. Mike blinks, a little surprised and she can’t blame him for it, but the gentleness of his voice doesn’t fade. “Of course you are,” he says with a nod. Never one to deny her anything.
It sends an aching pang through her chest. He’s always on her side, puts her above everyone else—including himself. He has shown it to her time and time again, proved to her repeatedly that nothing is more important to him than she is. And that—that worries her.

Summary
El runs and she keeps running until she's about as far away from home as she figures she can get. And as the years go by, she manages to carve out a peaceful sort of existence. It's not a happy life, but she's content with the knowledge that the loved ones she left behind are safe and happy.
But while Mike's safe, he's not happy, not by a long shot. He's living a half-life, living under the shadow of the love he lost... of the love he knows is still out there, somewhere, waiting for him to find her.
And when Mike finally has enough of surviving without living and embarks on an aimless journey to find her, El knows her days of isolation are behind her. Because the longer Mike tries to search for her, the more attention he brings to himself and the more likely he'll put himself in danger. So she leaves a trail of breadcrumbs to guide him to her, as always willing to do anything to keep him safe.
And when they reunite in the sleepy village El has learned to call home, they'll learn if they can move past the shadow of the history they share... and if they can rediscover the love that once shone brighter than the sun.

Summary
He reaches for the glass of wine again. He takes another swallow. And then—
It happens. It’s nothing. It’s a flicker, a second, a feeling at first. The hair at the base of his neck feels like its been grazed, electric and immediate and impossible—so, utterly impossible. Because he hasn’t felt this since—since—
Mike readjusts in his seat, just a little. Fingers brush his, feather light. And then the world tilts, and he’s swallowed into the darkness. He hardly has the time to breathe before he looks up and sees her. Not a hallucination, not a stranger on the street with the same hair, or the same style. Her.
El.
--
In the Spring of 1993—somewhere in Reykjavík—El finds Mike's published book and builds the courage to take it home with her.
In the Spring of 1993—somewhere in New York—Mike cannot seem to adjust to life without her.
