Spencer O'Neil swore to himself that it was a one-time thing until it became a two-time thing and then a three-time thing. But something about Colter Brown made Spencer forget all about logic and reality. Besides, it didn't hurt to hook up with someone who had their own reasons for staying in the closet.
