    Summary

    Kip leaned against the counter, projecting an air of casual competence he absolutely did not feel. His heart was doing a stupid little tap dance against his ribs, which was ridiculous. He served handsome men all the time. Halifax was full of bearded fishermen and lumbersexual hipsters.

    But this was different. This guy looked like he was the forest.

    "Morning," Kip said, aiming for breezy and landing somewhere near slightly breathless. "What can I get started for you? We have a Guatemalan roast today that has notes of chocolate and existential dread, if that's your vibe."

    Or:
    The one where Scott is a grumpy junior hockey coach and Kip is a charmingly awkward rugby player. Both come with their own baggage. Both are miserable in their own way.
    Oh, and they are in Canada.

    Summary

    “I loved him enough to try,” Kip whispered, his voice heavy with immense exhaustion. “But loving someone shouldn’t mean secrecy.”

    Margaret held him tighter, and Kip felt the last remnants of his strength drain away. The struggle between loving Scott and loving himself had worn him out. And now, in his mother’s arms, with the smell of tea beginning to fill the house, he faced the hardest reality of all: sometimes, the bravest love is the one that says goodbye.

    “Well, the advice your grandmother gave me, back when your father and I were on and off…” Margaret said softly, tucking her son’s curls behind his ear. “When two people are meant to find each other, the universe itself puts them in each other’s path by chance. If it’s meant to happen, it will—just pay attention, but don’t wait with expectations.”

    Summary

    The air up here was disrespectful.

    That was the first thing Kip Grady noticed when he stepped out of his dad’s beat-up Honda Civic. The air in Brooklyn had texture. It had weight. It smelled like hot asphalt, exhaust fumes, and the specific, comforting garbage funk of a Tuesday afternoon. You knew where you stood with Brooklyn air.

    The air here—four hours north, deep in the "Upstate" wilderness of the university—was suspicious. It was too thin. It smelled like pine needles and aggression. It smelled like people who hiked for fun.

    Or:
    Eighteen-year-old Kip is figuring out student life and developing a massive crush on his History professor, Scott Hunter - whose books may or may not have inspired Kip to major in History.
