When Harry turns twenty-four, he and Louis have been broken up for four months, and it still isn't any easier.

He answers a call from his Mother that day, and lets the rest go to voicemail like he normally does. That night he catches a cab to one of the gay strip clubs on the sketchy side of town, and blows out a candle that is stuck in the pretzel bowl of the private table he's seated at alone.

His wish doesn't come true that year.
