    Summary

    “Liam is in a coma.”
    “Yeah, we can see that,” the father says, throwing his hands in the air.
    “God, this is the most depressing Christmas ever,” the blonde sister mutters.
    “His vital signs are strong,” Dr. Higgins assures them. “Brain waves are good–”
    “Brain waves?” the mother wails, taking Liam’s hand in hers. “Oh my God!”
    “How did this happen?” the father demands.
    “Um, he was pushed from the platform at the subway station,” Harry pipes up.
    The entire family turns to look at him, confused. Harry shrinks back, wishing he could have just kept his big mouth shut.
    “Who’s this?” the father asks, pointing at him.
    “Um, I’m Harry–” he starts.
    “He’s Liam’s fiancé!” Jade adds helpfully from where she stands by the door.
    Every jaw in the room drops, including Harry’s.
    Oh, shit. Shit shit shit. What?

    When Harry, a lonely transit worker, saves the life of the handsome commuter he's been secretly pining for, an innocent mistake results in Liam Payne's family believing that Harry is engaged to their son. In the Paynes, Harry finds the big family he's always longed for...and a love he never saw coming.

    Summary

    Louis looks at him like his words might break him, glass about to splinter, one wrong footfall away from shattering into a million tiny pieces.

    “Hey,” Harry breathes, and he knows, meeting Louis’ eyes, that his words could break him easy as anything. He almost wants Louis to bring his boot down.
