SEVENTY-ONE

Damien and Logan had been best friends since starting high school seventeen years earlier.

They were two young men who did everything together.

Damien was the loving son of parents who had always shown him unconditional love, while judgmental and biased parents raised Logan.

At fourteen and feeling confident of his friend’s acceptance, Logan confessed to Damien that he was gay. He also vowed that he would never disrespect his straight best friend by hitting on him.

As the years passed, Logan hid his true feelings for Damien, not willing to jeopardize their close friendship.

But when a tragedy reveals how Damien really feels about his best friend, will Logan lower his walls and take what he’s always wanted?

Note: Both stories are set in Australia and are written in Australian English.
