Another beautiful story by Amy Lane. The story is about Brian, a quite shy, reserved young man who doesn't talk much, and Tate who his openly gay, vibrant young man who his severely scared as a result of being burned on one side of his body when he was a baby, his mother a alcoholic, fell asleep holding a cigarette it fell on a booze soaked blanket Tate was rapped in, and burned half his body. Tate covers the scares with a large body tattoo that covers half his face and goes down the right side of his body. He his also scarred on the inside which he covers by "talking" non-stop, especially when he meets some one new, like Brian. Tate is looking for love, anyone who will love him, hence he "dates" any jerk who comes by, what he doesn't realize is that Brian is the man he's been looking for, Brian doesn't realize it either until his girlfriend pointed it out to him, that whole scene was funny. This story is filled with humor, angst and love. Amy Lane delivers another story about characters who are markedly different, but work beautifully together.
