Because I wasn't expecting it,  it took me a moment to grasp that this is two distinct novellas,  each stand alone, about the same 2 men in different times. This is entirely conjecture,  but I think the second novella was written first,  and then Sarah Black went back and wrote a prequel to tell us how the men got to where they were in the second book.  Why do I think that?  The earlier novella is richer and denser and more beautiful,  it feels like her writing is more confident. The second story, with the same characters later in their relationship,  feels like an earlier work.  Of course,  I don't know that for certain.Colton is a cop, his lover Diego is a surgeon and I absolutely loved both of them individually and together. A third character is the landscape,  which Sarah Black brings so vividly to life.3768 locations,  I rate it a reread and a keeper.
