Jack frowned. “What about him? I told you it’s over. Completely.”


“No. I once thought I did, honestly, but I don’t. If I loved him I’d do anything to be with him. I wouldn’t let distance stop me. I’d move there, I’d get a job at a hospital up there.

Tyler didn’t know why but he’d gotten up from his chair and moved closer to Jack as he spoke, so he now sat beside him.


“But you? Tyler, I’d do anything. If you said to me right now that this musical you got was in New York? I’d go there.”


“Even if I said we’ll only ever be friends?”


“I don’t really know what to say.”


Jack’s dark eyes were intense as he stared into Tyler’s eyes. “Do you have someone else? I saw you once with someone at the play. I wondered.”
