Evan has always wanted a relationship-and has the quiet disappointment to show for it. Marcus, burned by a string of short-lived relationships, learned long ago how to keep things casual and keep himself safe. When a dating app match brings them together, both men are trying to be someone they're not: Evan pretending he wants less, Marcus pretending he's ready for more.
Their first date falls flat. They're ready to write it off-until a chance reunion at a birthday party forces them back into each other's orbit, along with two friends who may or may not be nudging things along. As Evan and Marcus continue dating, neither is promised clarity or certainty-only the difficult work of honesty, presence, and choosing not to disappear when things get complicated.
For Now is a warm, funny, and clear-eyed queer romance about learning to want without rushing, staying without promising forever, and discovering that sometimes growth looks like choosing someone without knowing how the story ends.
