PROLOGUE
Harry is a confused 17-year-old in high school. He's been questioning his sexuality for a few years, but figures he just hasn't found the right girl yet. Now his two best friends, Liam and Niall have girlfriends and are quite adamant about him finding a date to some stupid party. He almost decides to suck it up and ask any old girl out, but then he sees the man in the Mercedes.
Louis is a 30-year-old workaholic. Life hasn't treated him too badly in more recent years, but high school was a rough patch for him. He got his best friend, Marcy, pregnant on the day they decided to lose their virginity to each other. Prom night, 2000. It seemed like the end of the world, but they pulled through and shared, as friends, in raising a beautiful girl. Louis and Marcy almost tried dating, but the date they went on was laughable, to say the least. Their daughter, Emma, is 15 now and Louis gets her on weekends. He wishes it were more often because he hates being at the house alone with his live-in girlfriend, Cece. He wants out, but that would detract from the perfect life he's supposed to have. Everything seems hopeless until Louis starts daydreaming about that boy at Emma's school.
