Another of those stories about coming out. Very decently written, too.Two worlds collide in more than one way when the rich and still very much in the closet Julian meets the fun-loving and openly gay Dan from an average family. Well, to begin with Julian does not know that Dan is gay, just that he is attracted to Dan who is accompanying Julian's sister for her debut. Good choice since Dan is more than able on the dancefloor.Although the story is told from Dan's POV, I view it more as Julian's story. He is conflicted, because he wants to work with photography, while his distant father tries to mold him into a businessman. It makes him to try all kind of escapes, even drinking too much. When their budding relationship is exposed by a very malicious gossiper, Julian decides to make some changes in his life. Including getting of the wagon. Something he does not tell to Dan and that makes Dan to doubt Julian and his intentions. But Julian, supported by his mother and sister, tells his father that he is done doing what his father wants. Julian goes from jaded young man to a man with purpose. We don't get to know more than few months ahead, but it looks like HEA for Julian and Dan.
