After a rough break up with the man he thought he'd spend his happily-ever-after with, Brad returns home to Wyoming to attend his high school reunion. He's still in touch with his best friend since childhood - only problem is that Jimmy doesn't know he's gay. Brad hates the idea of upsetting Jimmy, who has no family left and thinks of Brad as his brother. Plus, he's been lying to him all these years.

Jimmy’s driveway was shaped like a crescent moon, and he came roaring out the front door as soon as Brad pulled in. His smile put Brad’s worries to rest for a moment.
For the first time since the funeral several years ago, Brad had driven across the vast expanse of nothingness that was Wyoming. There had never been anything for him here–except for his best friend, Jimmy Boyd. And the only reason Brad had agreed to go to his ten-year high school reunion was that Jimmy had begged him to attend. No one in Wyoming knew anything real about his life in Chicago.
Sure, Jimmy always stayed in touch and even knew of Brad’s broken heart last year–but over Michelle, not Michael. Jimmy had been the toughest guy in school and the best friend Brad could ever ask for. He didn’t want to lose him. Not after all they’d been through together. But he had to tell Jimmy he was gay–or what friendship was he saving?
His childhood friend grabbed Brad and lifted him off the ground, planting a wet one on his cheek. The neatly shaved beard was a welcome reminder of home, but the whiskers scraped against Brad’s smooth face.
Calm down. You’ll wake up your neighbors,
Brad said, reaching over and smacking Jimmy on the head just like old times. Jimmy was much taller than Brad, who was only five feet, nine inches. With his mousy brown hair and average build, Brad was someone who stood out as someone who wouldn’t stand out. He’d make a great extra in Hollywood. Over the years, though, he’d had enough guys tell him he was good looking that someday he planned to believe it.
Come check out the digs. Whoop!
Jimmy yelled, his exuberance contagious.
The house was the standard subdivision type, brand spanking new with granite counters and a walk-in master closet. The bedrooms were upstairs, and the spare was modest but boasted all the necessities.
Made the bed. And here are a bunch of towels. They're clean,
Jimmy said, handing him a round pile that clashed with the flannel shirt he was wearing.
Brad chuckled, impressed with his friend’s domestic side–and with his home. Despite his four years in financial planning, Brad had a one-bedroom apartment in Lincoln Park that was furnished with thrift store hand-me-downs.
He was supposed to help Jimmy get his finances in order this week. His friend had an inheritance to invest–but only because his life had been built on sequential traumas. Three years ago, his parents died in a small plane crash off the coast of Alaska. Eight years before that, his little sister died from leukemia–after a heroic fight–placing a shadow over the Boyd family for as long as Brad could remember. The last thing he wanted to do now was cause his friend any more pain.
So, you're still seeing that girl, Nadine was it?
Brad asked.
"You mean Lanie? Yeah I am, in fact. What about
