In the haze, there are blinding stars dancing in her eyes. She tries to blink them away, tries to focus her eyes on him as he sits up straighter and puts his hands on her waist, but the task seems impossible when she feels so weak. 

She can’t move—her legs feel like JELL-O and he seems to sense it, offering a mumbled “I’ve got ya,” and standing to slide an arm beneath her to wrap around her back.

Then, lifting her with a soft grunt and holding her so that she is pressed flush against him, he moves them both back up towards the pillows at the head of the bed.

What a fucking gentleman.

“Need a minute?” he asks, as he lays her down gently upon the mattress. “We can take our time entering the next round.”

She nods, then shakes her head, then furrows her brows because she can’t decide. She is breathless and intoxicated (from the alcohol, from the lilt of his accent, from his hands on her skin) but she wants him inside of her, and she doesn’t really want to wait.

Amelia Miller’s life went up in flames 40 miles north of London on the M1. At twenty-four she buried her parents side by side and was left to wonder at questions of existence, and purpose, and fragility she should have been decades shy of. She’s painstakingly built a new life, one framed by incredible success and hard work, and grown in the kindness of new friendships. Her old university friends feel worlds away from who Amelia is at twenty-eight, and they hurtfully bump and scrape their way around her heart.

Harry Styles met Amelia at uni with the rest of them when they were forced into being a trivia team on a Freshers’ Week pub crawl. He doesn’t think he’s changed much from the earnest, overly hopeful teenager who pretended he knew how to drink a beer. That was eight years ago, before any of them had to learn what it meant to be a grown-up and well before Harry can pinpoint he started knowing who the hell he is. He’d like to say he hasn’t noticed how their little trivia team had soured over time, or that Amelia’s slowly been tearing herself away from them all. He’s not a liar though.

Amelia’s about to find out recalibrating allows some people surprise you and others to behave exactly how you expect them to.
