That all ended when the cops came and arrested Jonah, stealing him from Christian's uncertain world.   Jonah never forgot Christian, even though he cut off all contact with the boy.

Jonah stayed in contact with his foster mother Marisol, but refused to hear stories about Christian, and made the woman promise never to tell Christian anything about him.   Upon her death fifteen years later, Marisol leaves a request that Jonah come home and help Christian renovate her house. Jonah can't refuse, even though he knows he will have to face Christian once again.   Although they haven't seen each other in years, neither man has forgotten the other. Neither man will deny Marisol her final request, even if it means facing their past, working together, sharing the room they had as teens, getting to know one another now as men, and discovering that the brief friendship they shared has altered into a consuming, abiding love.   NOTE: Originally written and published in 2009.
