He holds the mug out until you take it. He always has.

Harry Ellis-Vane is enormous, and has spent his whole life apologising for it - to coaches, to doorways, once to the salt. He has carried other men's blades at two World Championships and an Olympic Games, and never raced. On Thursdays he learns to cook in Wes Marais's kitchen. There is one true thing about him that he has never said to anyone, and he never will.

Jonah Ekwueme is six foot six, a junior doctor in A&E, and the best friend anybody ever had. He is the one who comes: to car parks, to hospitals, to lay-bys at three in the morning. Nobody has ever once come for him.

He has just moved into the spare room of his best friend, Theo Rooke.

On the first Thursday, Harry makes him a cup of tea, and holds it out, and holds it, and waits.

What starts in the back of a van becomes the best-kept secret in Reading. Harry can't be seen with him. Jonah has never told a lie in his life.

Then he tells one to his best friend.

A documentary crew has just moved into the squad house.

And Theo Rooke has started collecting evidence.

Best friend's best friend - secret relationship - closeted athlete - bisexual doctor - the lodger - found family - one couple across all three books - explicit - slow-earned HEA at the end of the trilogy
