Shane, troubled and haunted by persistent nightmares, makes a late-night call to his mother, Sylvia Lewis.

Chris’s forceful personality, usually criticized, now fuels his pursuit, highlighting his unwavering resolve to confront Shane despite potential consequences; “What was the worst thing that could happen? Shane would probably catch him trespassing and hand him over to the police. Big deal!”

Shane, meanwhile, is distracted and emotionally troubled. A poor performance in his basketball game, attributed to his preoccupation with Chris, leads to frustration and self-reproach.

Chris, using his previously discovered knowledge of Shane’s back gate routine, confronts Shane at his home. Their encounter unexpectedly results in a raw emotional release for Shane, who sobs uncontrollably in Chris’ arms for the first time in years.

Despite Shane’s rejection, Chris remains undeterred in his pursuit of reconciliation. The next day, Chris waits patiently at Shane’s gate, even when a security guard inquires about his presence. Chris’s persistent, almost passive presence, further highlights his unwavering determination. His response to the security guard’s questioning is telling; “Does the boss know I’m here?” he asks, demonstrating a calculated strategy. “Yes,” was the man’s brief answer. “And did the boss send you to ask me that?” This showcases Chris’ subtle approach, avoiding direct confrontation while maintaining a constant, visible presence.

This persistent pattern continues for two weeks. Chris, now taking breaks from his routine of waiting by the gate, waits each day, observing Shane’s silent acknowledgment of his presence.

He intends to continue pursuing Shane until he achieves forgiveness.

His usually enthusiastic approach felt mechanical, lacking the usual foreplay, prompting Tracy’s concern and his own self-doubt.

The following visit to Shane’s shows a stark contrast. A relaxed evening of soccer, delicious food, and shared Liverpool fandom creates a genuine camaraderie between them.

The daily visits to Shane’s house are becoming increasingly difficult as Chris fights the urge to physically express his feelings. He acknowledges a terrifying, undeniable desire for Shane that he can’t explain, fearing the implications of these feelings. Meanwhile, Shane secretly reciprocates Chris’s intense attraction, battling his own suppressed desires and finding himself constantly aroused by Chris’s presence.

The s$$$$l tension between them is palpable, evident in stolen glances and lingering moments. Neither man verbalizes their feelings, but their actions betray their unspoken longing.

She came highly recommended.”

A Friday visit finds Chris at Shane’s early, enjoying breakfast and a lavish lunch.
