Reviewed for Heartsonfirereviews.comWritten in the present tense (which I thought was a very clever spin considering the subject matter of this story), it is a poignant tale of Sean, who is never satisfied and never really happy.  While the blurb states he is haunted by a recent breakup, it is Sean himself who did the breaking.  He had Zach, a man who loves him despite his inability to be really committed to them, and he tosses him away.  Oh I hated Sean then.  Zach's parting words to him are what actually haunt Sean at first.As he wanders, he increasingly realizes that the "big moment" he keeps looking for isn't happening.  It is only when the words nearly come true that Sean begins to understand what he's done.  This is after he is saved by Ezra.  Oh Ezra, how lonely that man is.  My heart broke for him, how sad he is.This story isn't long but it's written so well.  I could see Ezra and I wanted him happy, content, with the one he loves.  I wanted Sean to see what he had given up and know it was wrong.  It's a lovely story.
