    ’Billy pilgrim has come unstuck in time.’

    That was the beginning, that book he was reading that first morning. When I was too focussed on his lips, the soft focus on his face, to be paying much attention to anything else.

    Or

    Nick Nelson has come unstuck in time.

    The intense yearning and loss of hope made the discovery of help needed all that much more shocking but relieving, somehow? Gosh, I loved this, and it has earned a permanent place in my brain.

    "Do you have feelings for me do you lay awake at night thinking about me does it hurt to think of never kissing me are you in love with me can you ever love me the way I love you."

    Slowly, he threads our fingers together and turns mine palm up, tracing block letters in to the skin of my wrist. C-H-A-R-L-I-E. Charlie. It suits him.

    “Can I help you?”

    “Gosh I hope so,” Charlie blurted before he remembered where he was and that this friendly man was not flirting, but simply doing his job. He stepped forward to the desk. “Um. I have a 4:00 appointment.”

    Awww, this was so good and I haven't forgotten it since I first read it over two years ago!

    I especially loved this: "Nick wasn’t sure it was entirely healthy to feel like he’d known Charlie forever already, but he did. He felt like every face Charlie made was already familiar and cozy and home."

    Summary

    Still fully embraced in each other’s arms, Charlie ran his fingers through the back of Nick’s hair – which had recently been cut. And Nick took the opportunity to breathe in the scent of Charlie’s hair – which was starting to grow longer. Neither of them picked up on these subtle changes in the moment – too wrapped up in the thrill of just being in each other’s presence again – but those subtle changes were actually proof that they had survived three very difficult weeks apart. Proof that they could be apart without completely falling apart. Proof that there was still room for them to grow, or to change, even if those changes went unnoticed in the moment. Which is good, because there would be many more difficult weeks in their future that they weren’t aware they would need to prepare for.

    Summary

    Nick is visiting his father in France, and Charlie is returning to the UK from a friend’s wedding in Marseille. They meet by chance on a train heading to Paris.

    Charlie, who has felt an instant connection with Nick, agrees.

    This is the story about what happens over the course of that one life-altering night, and beyond.

    Inspired by the films ‘Before Sunrise’ and ‘Before Sunset.’

    The natural conversation, the hotness of their night together, the endless yeeeeeeeeearning for their reunion . . . this work is incredible, and, dare I say, better than the movies! I have been compelled to reread it a lot and I'm sure I will read it many more times.
