He was looking for a room. He found something he couldn't label.

Tom is twenty-eight, recently priced out of his Finsbury Park flat, and running out of patience with SpareRoom. The Tufnell Park listing is different — sparse, honest, no desperate enthusiasm. Double room. Shared with one other. The hot water takes a while. Best to be upfront about that.

Nick Calloway is the flatmate. Tall, dark-haired, a freelance photographer who works from the kitchen table and fills the flat with good coffee, borrowed light, and the particular warmth of a person who is exactly, unapologetically himself. The flat is unreasonably good. So is Nick.

What begins as a practical arrangement — two men sharing a Victorian flat, negotiating bathroom schedules and kitchen habits — becomes something neither of them planned for. Tom notices everything about Nick and files it away under headings that don't quite fit. Nick notices Tom noticing and waits, with the quiet patience of a man who knows what's coming, for the moment it becomes impossible to pretend otherwise.
