Jason is on his own after a breakup. And the beach house New Year’s is filled with couples or triads. An invitation to play is accepted, though!🤗

he was feeling pathetic (though Nick might kind of enjoy that, actually). But still, standing here looking out at the waves, he didn’t feel quite as lonely or as sick.
This was a nice little cute thing. I also need JasexNickxBernie in later installments please and thank you.
That aside, I’m intrigued by Will’s evolution of his feelings in the triad. (Him saying «Hi boyfriends» is gonna live in my head rent free.)
Spoiler
Molly is away in Amsterdam, and the summary of Every New Begging says she hasn’t been there in years. That gives me the inclination that Will becomes more exclusive with the husbands. I’m very excited to see this (still want to see Molly. I love Molly).

The New Year's stories are so great!!!! I really enjoyed getting to know Jase and Nick and Bernie more, and the dynamic between Nick and Bernie is so interesting, I loved this exploration of them, their interactions, personalities, points of discord, and of course the deepening of the family ties amongst everyone in the beach house.
