    Summary

    When Truham announces a school trip to Madrid, Nick and Charlie are thrilled to embark on another adventure with the Paris Squad.

    For Charlie, this trip feels deeply personal—an opportunity to connect with his Spanish heritage in ways he’s never fully shared. As the group explores Spain’s vibrant culture and history, they uncover truths about identity, stereotypes, and the bonds that hold them together in a last trip before some of them go to college. With Nick by his side, Charlie finds himself embracing the parts of him he’s kept hidden, while Nick learns how much more there is to love about the sexy boy who’s stolen his heart.

     

    Or a love letter to the city that took me under its arms.

    Charlie is left to pick up the pieces and care for Olly.

     

    *****
    Please be warned that this story deals with grief, the loss of loved ones, and the loss of the life you thought you were going to have.

     

    If Charlie being orphaned is going to bring up things you would rather not deal with, maybe give this one a miss.

    Practical note:

    Text messages are shown in bubbles of various hues if you have Dark Mode/Reversi enabled some messages may be difficult to read.
    Three options :
    a) Turn off Dark Mode ( black on yellow is easier to read than white on yellow) OR
    b) Turn off skins ( this will render the story in plain text) OR
    c) Highlight the text to increase the contrast.

    Summary

    “A bit funny,” he says, not sounding at all amused, “the things you can figure out when you have over a century to think about them.”

    In 1883, in the late hours of a rainy night in London, Will Herondale makes a quiet confession.

    A hundred and twenty-seven years later, Jem Carstairs makes his.
