Summary
Ed and Stede's relationship grows stronger every day since the devastating month they spent apart in the spring. Now, they're heading into a wide-open summer full of love, family, and each other, eager to enjoy lazy days devoid of the school year's stress.
But not all wounds close quite so quickly. The most painful hurts take the longest to heal, and it isn't long before they realize that it will take more than sweet, loving words to mend the oldest, deepest cracks in their hearts.
And then there's the ring tucked away in Stede's dresser drawer. All he needs to do is find the words to ask Ed to stick around in a forever, promises-and-vows sort of way—and that shouldn't be so difficult, right?
