    Summary

    "Anthony has a sort of sixth sense for noticing when Coy is upset. He always has, but it feels like it's been more prominent these past few weeks. When Coy is angry, or scared, or sad. Anthony just... knows it. With anyone else, he'd probably just ignore it. With Coy though, it feels impossible. Like he's in Coy’s orbit, pulled to him. So close that he's somehow intertwined himself in his emotions and he can't untangle himself.

    He isn't sure why, and he doesn't want to think about whatever implications that might have."


    or, coy and anthony are both having a pretty bad time, but for different reasons. and then it's for the same reason.

    Summary

    Adam's eyes met the man's in a fleeting moment, and stayed fixed there, magnetized.

     

    He was tall, and he wore an expensive-looking coat. His eyes were a deep, crystal blue, wrinkled lightly at the corners as if someone had just told him a joke. They held Adam's gaze with a curiosity that verged on recognition. His mouth was quizzical, on a knife's edge of smiling. Adam felt suddenly as if all the breath had been knocked out of him.
    ---
    Adam Faulkner-Stanheight knew his own worth- that is to say, little-to-none. His girlfriend? Frustrated with him for wasting his life. His job? A complete dead end, working retail in December. His photography? Just a hobby, and one he was afraid to really pursue for fear of failing.

    And then Dr. Lawrence Gordon walked into his life, sending his world into a tailspin with his understanding smile, soft voice, incisive words, and the kindest eyes Adam had ever seen.

    What Adam thought would be one more mindnumbing holiday shift brought a chance encounter that would change his life- for better or for worse.
