Summary
Adam's eyes met the man's in a fleeting moment, and stayed fixed there, magnetized.
He was tall, and he wore an expensive-looking coat. His eyes were a deep, crystal blue, wrinkled lightly at the corners as if someone had just told him a joke. They held Adam's gaze with a curiosity that verged on recognition. His mouth was quizzical, on a knife's edge of smiling. Adam felt suddenly as if all the breath had been knocked out of him.
---
Adam Faulkner-Stanheight knew his own worth- that is to say, little-to-none. His girlfriend? Frustrated with him for wasting his life. His job? A complete dead end, working retail in December. His photography? Just a hobby, and one he was afraid to really pursue for fear of failing.And then Dr. Lawrence Gordon walked into his life, sending his world into a tailspin with his understanding smile, soft voice, incisive words, and the kindest eyes Adam had ever seen.
What Adam thought would be one more mindnumbing holiday shift brought a chance encounter that would change his life- for better or for worse.

Summary
Randy wondered what the West could hold that was so interesting that Benson wanted to point the nose of the car towards it. Much like he wondered how any of the places they’d visited had been of interest to a man in his thirties who barely knew what the air smelled like ten miles outside of town.
Still, the Randy from last month wasn’t anywhere to be found as the new one, wearing clothes he picked solely for himself and covered in the bruises from the fingertips of a man who was ultimately terrible for him, sat in his stead. Taking up the passenger side of the car with a bolstering new personality and hair shavings digging into the skin of his neck where his t-shirt’s collar lay. Benson shrank under the irritation of this new person, sweating down the sides of his temples and twisting in the driver’s seat as he tried to get away from the size of Randy’s rage.
~
Randy & Benson continue their journey, leaving Florida behind and heading West. Cresting between love and sheer irritation. The catalytic emotions towards Randy's final pit-stop, someone or something completely different to the young man that was bundled into the car on that last Saturday morning shift.

Summary
Randy almost doesn’t understand how it happened, even though he’s the one who started it. Three weeks ago he’d never had sex with anyone, never thought about doing it with a guy, didn’t think much about doing it at all. And maybe that means there’s something wrong with him, but he’s not stupid—he understands that Benson wants this from him. And if Randy can use that to keep them on track for a little while, maybe Benson will come back to himself. Will shake off the shock, and tell Randy what the plan is.

Summary
‘I want to write about you,’ Daniel finally says. It's true.
‘Based on what you've shown me, I'd prefer you didn't.’
‘But you'd like someone to write about you.’
‘I'm not even twenty-five yet, I scarcely require a biographer.’
