This was a short and sweet snippet meant to give Bruno - the main character from When Things Happen Together - a chance to show his side of the story. I half expected this to be a recapping of unseen events from WTHT, but it's actually a continuation, happening during a get-away during Tommy and Bruno's one year anniversary.
The story explores a little more of Bruno's mental struggles with his PTSD over his past relationship with Joe. It explores most of this as memories, so while there's a warning about on-page abuse and domestic violence, none of it is overly descriptive.
It was a cute little snippet that gives some closure to Bruno's part of the story, which I do feel tied things off nicely, though I agree it wouldn't have been right added to the end of WTHT.
