Derek Adams has put together a wonderful and heart warming short story of love lost and found again. Mike Vickers is a 38 year old man living in a small tourist town with his ten year old daughter Becky. He does his best for Becky, working hard, being a man of integrity and a totally devoted father. Becky's mother deserted the two of them right after Becky was born and there has been no one in Mike's life since. Mike is working out on the pier one day when he looks up at a yacht and sees a man he thought he'd never see again Eric Mason. Mike and Eric had a summer love back when they were both 18 while Eric and his parents were spending the summer in the town. Mike is the typical jock playing football and running track with most afternoons working to help his family. Eric is a loner who loves to draw and though lonely, he is very comfortable being a gay teen. The two young men meet on a deserted part of the beach, and a bond forms between them which soon turns into more. Their happy summer romance is dashed upon the rocks when Mike's ex girlfriend announces that she is pregnant with Mike's child. Seeing Eric again after ten years bring all his buried feelings back to the surface and the two men start picking up where they left off. I enjoyed the way Mr. Adams had Mike flash back to when he and Eric first met as soon as their eyes meet after ten years apart. Becky is a remarkable character, much wiser than her years but still innocent and to the point. For a short story, both Mike and Eric are well fleshed out characters that I couldn't help but like. The slow burn between the two adult men is enhanced by their touching and gentle caresses instead of a fast dash for the sheets. The HEA ending was just icing on this great feel good story.… (meer)
