This was a good follow-up to James and Patrick's earlier story, [b:By Any Other Name|9841965|By Any Other Name|G.R. Richards|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1291641354s/9841965.jpg|14732762]. The relationship being more real, and different expectations, lead to a "sort of fight" that makes them both realize what's really important. It gives Patrick the courage to take a step forward in their physical relationship. I liked that they took it slow, which just seems the right thing for these two to do. Even though Patrick is still far from actually coming out, by the end of this story I was beginning to feel that, one day, he might.
