[BXB] Nate Pembroke makes an offer that Denver Hughes can't refuse. ✩✩✩ Ever since tragedy struck Denver Hughes' family two years ago, nothing has been the same. As a result, already apathetic Denver decided his best move was to push his feelings aside and avoid them completely- until he decides to seek them out again. Nate Pembroke acts without thinking and has the bruises to show for it. He's impulsive; a hurricane; a whirlwind and he's Denver's golden opportunity. When he offers to help Denver embrace all of his messy and complicated feelings, Denver knows it's an offer he can't refuse. But as their friendship begins to blossom into something more, Denver is forced to face his feelings- and his grief- in a way that he never expected. [ November. 2021. - February. 2022. ]
