8 months single, non-binary Robin is pretty sure he's over his ex-girlfriend. He's survived their anniversary, both their birthdays, Easter, Midsummer and Halloween on his own. He thought Christmas would be hard, but it was a breeze. No bickering about whose family to spend it with, no being guilt-tripped into spending way too much on gifts. Overall, a marked improvement.
Ready to walk into the new year with pep in his step and reinvigorate his social life, Robin prepares for a New Year's Eve house party. What he isn't prepared for is his anxiety ramping up as the party draws near...
