'Gave it to me when he died. Thought it was a bit odd. F**k flowers. Have an espresso machine.'

2AM. A London flat. Jude and Kyle return from A&E. One has slipped, but they're both falling. A decade after their messy breakup, old wounds reopen as their tender reunion unravels into something more dangerous.

Also included in this volume is Emmitt-Stern's play Is This Us Fading Out, about a couple trapped in a post-breakup limbo, looking at their relationship after their 'relationship' has ended. The play premiered as part of a digital showcase in 2020, produced by Swings&Roundabouts. It was subsequently performed at Watford Palace Theatre in 2021.
