Their night together, the first and only real connection Derek has had in years, if not his whole life, ends too soon, and he must return to his responsibilities.

[Formerly titled Ice Cold Eyes] Phil Stevens is pretty sure that his life is how he wants it to be. He's got great friends, he's in a band, he does pretty well at school, and his family are great, if a bit over-protective. He might be hiding the great big whacking secret that he's gay, but his twin sister Tammy knows and loves him anyway. He's Christian, but he's not worried that God will particularly mind that he likes boys. He is, however, a bit worried that his parents will mind. Phil's got his plan; once he moves away from his parents and his religious community, he can come out at a safe distance and hope the dust settles swiftly. But a chance meeting with a guy from another school throws a major spanner in the works. Paul is funny, kind, talented, and openly gay. And he's interested in Phil. Phil never thought he'd want to risk everything for a boy, but Paul isn't the kind of guy who wants to go back in the closet. Tammy, along with Jason, Dave, and Lily, want to support Phil to be the happiest he could possibly be, queer or not, but can Phil handle the complications that come with liking a boy? Join Phil in this coming-of-age love story as he navigates friendship dramas, underage drinking at messy house parties, balancing religion and queerness, and finding family along the way.
