Rating: 4 out of 5

Zach left his small home town twenty years ago leaving behind the love of his life, Mason. Mason stayed behind for his Mother, who has just passed away. Zach sells his condo and becomes a consultant to his own business to return to Mason, to help him, to love him. They haven't spoken or been in contact since Zach walked away. Zach has been living his life, dating and sleeping with men that look like Mason, but hasn't been truly happy. Mason has never had another, the town is not accepting of gay - there is pure hatred in them there hills. Small town bigotry is rampant and when Zach returns and looks to Mason to be the same person there are implications to Mason's livelihood as the town passes judgement over him and his kind.It is a nicely written story and iv quite vivid in the descriptions. I have to say, though, I am now depressed and in need of some chocolate after this. Mason's life has been so very, very sad and lonely - and Zach was selfish to just abandon him without once reaching out to say hello, Happy Birthday, or I miss you. This is a very sad little short story for a supposedly happy ever after.
