How can I tell you when I can't even tell myself? Love shouldn't feel like a secret, but for Mike, it does. Loving your boy best friend can't be right... can it? Mike has begun to understand what he feels, and he doesn't know how to admit it-not to anyone, and certainly not to himself. When his friends get together again for the first time after graduating, Mike is forced to confront his feelings for Will face-to-face.
