After The Toast
Brandon Cloud
Malakai Sciavo didn’t come to Italy for romance—he came to survive his sister’s destination wedding without screaming during the toast. But when a drunken mix-up lands him in the bed of the groom’s gruff twin brother instead, his week in Asolo takes an unexpected turn. Will isn’t charming. He isn’t flirtatious. He builds chairs, ruins pasta, and asks questions that feel too close to home. And somehow, he’s exactly what Malakai didn’t know he needed.
What follows is not a whirlwind. It’s not even a breeze. It’s a slow, awkward, deeply inconvenient unraveling. Through burnt breakfasts, blackout apologies, and late-night non-conversations, Malakai finds himself confronting the grief he’s long ignored—and the quiet possibility of staying put for once in his life.
After the Toast is a romantic comedy about the chaos of commitment, the intimacy of imperfection, and the brave, ridiculous decision to stop running.
