Maybe

By J.M. Snyder

Josh and DeMar fell in love while working together on the set of Gimme Moor, a stage production with which they toured for six long months. But something happened between them during the tour, turning their idyllic romance into a strained relationship until Josh could no longer take it and he left.

Weeks after the show has closed, DeMar calls Josh from the airport to pick him up -- he's in town and wants to visit, despite the arguments that tore them apart. He wants a second chance, but Josh isn't so sure DeMar's the one to blame for their break-up.

Can they somehow find what it was they had together in the beginning before they lose it all?

When the phone rings, Josh Kennedy thinks it must be his mother. He’s been back in town for a while now and expected to hear from her sometime soon, even if he isn’t looking forward to fielding her carefully worded questions. She’ll want to know what happened between him and DeMar, why he didn’t want to talk about it over the phone when he called from his hotel before leaving for their final stop on the tour, and why he hasn’t bothered to call her since.

She’ll want to know the answers to those questions and more, and this early in the morning Josh doesn’t want to go through it with her when, honestly? He doesn’t even know what happened himself. DeMar is happier without me.
