    Summary

    “Sweetheart,” Damen said, first thing. “Have you missed me?”

    “Desperately,” came Laurent’s voice, the same as always, faintly accented and impeccably enunciated. He’d always had a gorgeous voice — light and smooth, but with a quality of richness that made its sound more resonant. In his quieter moments, he sounded almost tender, like he was cradling everything he said just between the two of them. “It’s not as though we were in the same building for five months or anything.”

    Summary

    Christmas is a time for family, joy and hope, right? Wrong! Apparently, it’s a time for hiding your relationship from your overprotective brother and trying to find a present for your boyfriend who has literally everything. Laurent is having a great time.

    Summary

    Damen and Laurent share an apartment. It's not supposed to be an exercise in patience and in bone-shattering faith.

    It’s not that it isn’t Laurent’s fault, but contrary to what his attitude may suggest, Laurent does not simply wake up every morning and start planning—scrupulously and with a surety in hand that resembles the meticulous filing away of paperbacks at an archive—how he is going to start another argument with Damen.

    Summary

    “Listen, Auguste, we’ve been here before. I don’t need this totally overrated, superficial and capitalistic holiday in my life, I don’t need dating, I don’t need romance in my life and I don’t need a man to shove a ridiculously big, totally overpriced bouquet of boring red roses into my arms just so that he can slide into my-”
    Laurent never finished his sentence because a ridiculously big and totally overpriced bouquet of boring red roses smacked him in the face. His coffee splashed on the ground, staining his grey coat and his shoes. On instinct, he turned and saw a ridiculously big man with dark curls and dark skin who angrily walked away until he, as if feeling Laurent’s shocked gaze on the back of his head, turned and stopped. His brown eyes widened when he saw the mess on Laurent’s coat and shoes.

     

    Laurent hates Valentine's Day, but when a gorgeous man with a dimple in his cheek bumps into him on the street, something changes.
