Henry Blanks works at a seven to five job at Dunkin Donuts then arrives home to his apartment to relieve the stress of the day with onesies, bottled milk, a bit of baby food, and television.
Jamie Klinks is a children's therapist at Hope's Hospital in New York. Having to deal with children is a tough and oftentimes, stressful job for most, but for Jamie, it was his dream. All he needed was a bit of coffee and a pill or two of aspirin to get the job done.
On the morning before his work, Jamie comes face to face with Henry and asks him (not so subtly) for his number.
How will their relationship work out and what will Jamie's reaction be when he finds out about Henry's "little secret?"

Forty-two failed dates. One unexpected tear. And the quiet system crash of a queer developer learning how to feel. /// Jamie doesn't feel much. He's lived with flat affect as long as he can remember, compensating with logic, routines, and romantic comedies filed under reference. As a queer man longing for connection but unable to express it, he's catalogued every failed date--clinically, precisely, and alone. Then comes Date Forty-One. And a single, unexpected tear. What follows isn't a breakthrough. It's a slow, quiet system failure--one that makes him question everything he thought he understood about himself. And in the background--steady, patient--is Alex. A coworker with grief in his eyes and strawberry wafers in his coat pocket. This isn't a love story. But it is a story about love. About presence, repair, and learning that the first genuine feeling doesn't always need to be dramatic. Sometimes it's just true.Complete
