The Usual Seat

Your best friend knows how you take your coffee, where you hide the good biscuits, and exactly how to make moving out feel like a terrible idea.

You have thirty days to find a place of your own and stop building your life around a flatshare. Theo Brann is helping with viewings, saving boxes, and behaving beautifully about losing the woman who has spent eight years stealing food from his plate. Then a prospective housemate asks whether the two of you are breaking up, and neither answer feels simple anymore. He can make you laugh halfway through a miserable day and remember a promise you forgot asking him to keep. Finding out what else you could be to each other might mean risking the friendship that has made this place home.
