Summary
“Oh Christ. You’re the baker?”
His words pluck Alex’s most sensitive nerve. It’s the same pompous skepticism people use when they’re trying not to say the offensive thing out loud. You’re a bit young, aren’t you? or Someone like yourself should have more realistic expectations. and his least favorite Maybe you should tone yourself down a bit to appeal to a wider customer base. Annoyance vibrates through him.
He crosses his arms. “That’s my name on the building, sweetheart. Is that going to be a problem?”
OR, Alex is hired to make a wedding cake and Henry is his most annoying customer ever.

Summary
Alex hates twitter.
He has it because Steve, his manager, physically restrained him and downloaded it on his phone, he jests...
‘Have a social media presence Alex’ Steve says
‘Tweet what you think’ Steve insists.
‘You’re a comedian Alex, it shouldn’t be that hard’
Well, Steve is twenty fucking five. Steve is hashtag hip and cool and how actually, in the ever living fuck, does he think that the things that Alex thinks won’t get him landed in prison.
And Alex is 40, well actually 41 turning 42 in March, and Alex cannot think of anything worse than having a social media presence.
Let him live ! Let him have his time away from writing and touring and writing and touring just to cook and lie in bed and watch the housewives of orange county, or the kardashians, or- he’s recently discovered YouTube- commentary videos on how the world is about to end because of how much we’ve destroyed it, or how to bleach your hair without it all falling out, or- he desperately despises this one- how to knit.
Because now he sits in bed, losing patience, as he knits things that he will never use.
Or Alex is a 41 year old comedian who realises he has been in love with Henry since they were kids.

Summary
It’s been a little over three weeks since he dumped Evan, and in hindsight Tommy could’ve handled the whole situation so much better. They never talked about their long term plans, goals and wishes, or set any specific ground rules for their relationship, but Tommy always assumed they were on the same page.
They were enjoying their time together, for however long it was going to last. Six weeks, six months, a year. But at some point Evan was going to get bored of him, or he’d outgrow Tommy and start looking for somebody else. Somebody with the qualities Evan wanted in a long term partner.
OR: Tommy is a trainwreck. He still gets his man back. (Eventually.)
