"Between friends, unspoken feelings can feel like a fragile thread pulled taut; one denies its existence while the other hides behind its delicate weave, both yearning for the courage to unravel what lies beneath."
Ian and Julian, long-time best friends, find themselves in a complicated situation following a wildly inebriated, somewhat unconventional evening, which disrupts their lives.
An awkward situation arises!
To complicate matters, Julian poured out his emotions that night, only to later dismiss it as an error. Typical melodrama, wouldn't you say? However, Ian possesses an exceptional memory. While Julian hastily dismisses the incident, Ian's keen recollection paints a different picture. He senses Julian's insincerity and detects a discrepancy. Ian isn't one to evade unresolved issues, preferring to confront them head-on.
As they deal with the fallout of their actions, conflicting perspectives, and clashes in temperament, emotions run high.
The situation intensifies as they confront their feelings, leading to revelations about family secrets and youthful indiscretions. Layers upon layers of undisclosed information, intertwined with a sprinkle of adolescent recklessness and folly.
Fleeing and Feeling is a captivating coming-of-age tale of love, secrets, and the often absurd journey of young adulthood, reminding us that sometimes even the messiest of situations lead to the most honest answers.

Jeff expected his Thanksgiving trip home to Nevada to be as dull as ever. Dry weather, boring people, the same old faces--he hated visiting his hometown. But this year, something unexpected happens: he runs into Jamie.
Now, Jeff has a serious girlfriend, and he and Jamie have been out of each other's lives for four years. Jeff insists he's not gay and that what happened with Jamie was just a phase. It was just...a weird thing. But seeing Jamie again stirs up old feelings and challenges everything Jeff thought he knew about himself.
This Thanksgiving, Jeff will have to confront the past he thought he left behind and decide what his future truly holds. Will he continue to deny his true feelings, or will he finally embrace the truth he's been running from?
