The laptop was open on the kitchen counter, and Sam couldn't resist. His boyfriend, Ben, was a writer, but he had never shown Sam any of his work. A file on the desktop was named “Crimson Sky.” He clicked it open.

The beginning chapters described a man who adored painting the sunrise. He found a familiar warmth rising in his chest. Ben had captured the way he made Sam laugh, the way he'd hold his hand. A portrait of their shared life. The story was rich with detail, intimate and familiar.

He felt a sudden swell of affection. The pages were a secret, a treasure he wasn’t sure he deserved. He read on, his pulse quickening. He couldn't wait to see what happened next.
