3. Giving It Up
Dr. Liam Byrne had nothing to complain of. He was tall, he had good hair, his business was going great. But all the moves that went into building his career meant leaving people behind. At forty-two, what he needed was someone to share his life. He was starting to wonder if he’d missed his chance.
Mark Valance made the move from stage to television, was in year three of a recurring role, and knew he was living the dream … but it felt like a nightmare. At thirty-eight, he couldn’t breathe anymore. He had to kick the closet door open, before he lost his nerve.
When Liam and Mark met at their friends’ first Thanksgiving party, they had a moment. Neither of them was quite sure what it meant. They decided to meet again, to see if they could figure it out. Their next meeting lasted two days. They were both tired of going it alone, and something felt right. Right enough to do whatever it took to figure out a future together.
4. Take EveeythingWhen Richard and Willem picked each other up at the dance studio, it was supposed to be a one-night stand. Richard didn’t think there was anyone who could deal with his issues, or that it was even fair to ask. After six dates with Willem, he knew he was too close. And he knew it was too late, because Willem was leaving for the cruise-ship job.
There was no way Willem was extending the cruise contract. Which meant it was time to change his life once he was back on land. Time to stop the endless round of auditions, put that yoga certification to work, and start building a steady life. A life he could share with someone. Maybe even with Richard, the person he couldn’t seem to forget.
Their next meeting was not precisely by chance; Willem knew Richard would be at the nightclub. Inviting him to a wedding was an impulse. But by the end of that date, they both knew they wanted to try again. This time they’d take it slow. They’d tell more of the truth. They’d dance together, using that common language to say things they were still afraid to say.
After all that, maybe they’d be ready to take each other on forever.
5. Triple X
Reggie Galant was a successful businessman: he ran a gay porn site called At Your Service, and it served him very well indeed. It supported his vocation as a painter, it bought his flat in London, and for a long time that was enough.
Ro Gallo wasn’t getting anywhere in L.A. It was his home city, but it didn’t feel like home: nothing there was his. One of his jobs paid the rent, the other one paid for his health insurance, and between them there was just enough left over to live.
They met by what might have been chance, at a party hosted by a mutual acquaintance. Two days later, Reggie asked Ro to visit him in London. Ro said he would.
They’d never been on a date, never touched beyond a handshake, never kissed. Maybe both of them were crazy. On the other hand, maybe neither of them were.
