During a golf tournament in Virginia, American golfer Reggie Weston meets Russell Lee, the British former world champion in the sport. The two men hit it off when Russell takes Reggie under his wing, teaching him the tricks of the game. As their friendship deepens, Reggie finds himself falling in love with the Englishman, though he knows Russell doesn’t feel the same. He’s painfully aware of the fact that Russell isn’t gay. But there’s more to Russell than meets the eye. He’s a troubled soul, plagued by monsters in his head telling him who he should be. He’s spent most of his life hiding his sexuality from the world so he won’t disappoint his homophobic mother. Is seven days enough time for Russell to break through the years of hurt and accept the new direction fate has in store for him and Reggie?

Seven Days

“It’s stupid that you’re still thinking about him, you idiot,” he told himself as he stood. He should head back to his room; he didn’t want to start crying where anyone could see him.


The powerful arctic air conditioning hit him as soon as he entered to the hotel. As he approached the elevators, a voice called out, “Here’s today’s hero!”


Reggie was so lost in thought that he hadn’t noticed Ian Donaldson exiting one of the elevators. There was Russell’s realbest friend.


“Oh, hello,” Reggie murmured. “I didn’t see you, Mr. Donaldson.”


He didn’t have the strength to fake a smile. Every muscle of his body was too dulled by fatigue.


“Hey, I’m only a few years older than you,” Ian chided. “Don’t be so formal.”


Reggie blushed. “So…hi. How are you?”


Ian smiled. Then a woman with dark hair appeared beside him. “I’ll go check out,” she said before rushing away.


“I thought you’d already left,” Reggie commented as he watched her go. He wished he too was on a flight going home.
