About this ebook
Jerome and Greg played on the dirt road halfway between their homes when they were kids, and found much better games to play there when they grew older. It's their special spot, the perfect place for Greg to propose, and the worst place possible for the accident that takes his life.
Devastated by the loss, Jerome visits that lonely road on the anniversary of Greg's death, only to discover that not all endings are permanent.

I still can’t believe that your folks sprang for a brand new Mustang convertible for graduation and all I have to drive is my sister’s hand-me-down clunker. It must be nice.
Jerome ran a hand down one sleek fender, watching his reflection in the shiny black surface. At least one of them had a nice ride. He couldn’t help it Greg’s folks had money and his didn’t.
His best friend since childhood came up from behind and they appeared together in the car’s tinted window, a matched set, height-wise, at six foot each. Greg’s dark hair and light eyes contrasted with Jerome’s dark eyes and light brown hair.
After a brief glance over his shoulder to ensure no one was watching, Greg leaned in for a kiss, balancing a loaded duffel between them. And you look so good in it,
he murmured. His mouth tasted of breath mints.
Jerome took the kiss and the bag, placing it in the trunk when Greg pulled away. Is that everything?
I think so. Maybe we’d better check one more time.
A suggestive smile and winking green eye hinted at mischief.
Jerome took Greg’s hand and laced their fingers together, leading the way back up two flights of stairs to their apartment. The cramped, one bedroom shoebox was tiny, yet special—their first home together. Okay, but if we’re late, I’m gonna let my sister know who to blame.
Greg jumped away, eyes wide in feigned terror. Dude! Anything but that!
They shared a laugh. Shelby was sweet if somewhat bossy, and liked to pick on her brother’s boyfriend. Greg humored her, pretending to fear the petite brunette.
Okay. Let’s do a quick check and then get on the road.
Jerome disappeared into the bedroom, leaving Greg to inspect the living area. He returned a moment later, holding a piece of dark fabric. I’m glad we checked. You forgot this.
My cape!
Greg grabbed the proffered garment and clutched it to his chest. I can’t be Dracula without a cape.
Jerome grinned. He opened his fist to reveal a set of plastic teeth with long, pointed canines. Or without these. Come on, let’s go. The party starts at eight.
Now ready, they returned to the car. The engine purred like a contented cat when Greg fired up the engine. Can we?
Jerome asked, putting on a hopeful face.
Greg cocked one eyebrow and attempted a glare. It’s October. It’s cold.
A muscle twitched at the corner of his mouth..
Please.
Jerome fought dirty, giving Greg big brown puppy dog eyes. Greg could never resist the eyes.
The restrained smile broke free, revealing a chipped front tooth. Oh, all right. If it means that much to you.
Greg flipped the switch to retract the roof and turned on the heater while it folded back. The things I do for you.
Because you love me.
Yeah, I do.
And because you look out for me.
Always have, Jer, always will.
Yes, Greg had, ever
