I love all the foster boys I was raised with. But there’s always been something special about Gabriel Gray.

For years I’ve tried to hide my attraction to him, because I know it’s one-sided.
Gabe is fiercely protective of me, but that’s as far as his affections go.

He’s older than me–something he reminds me of often - and he takes his role of caring for me seriously.

But when a family tragedy brings us together, grief and comfort lead to a fiery night of passion.
I might have given into my desires, but I refuse to let this change things between us. I know that Gabe will convince himself that staying with me is the right thing to do.

Gabe is my best friend, and I don’t want to lose him.

Is it too much to hope that fate has finally decided it’s our time, and I don’t have to choose between friendship and love?
