They claim his happiness is around the corner, but “indigo guides the way.”<br><br>Within the hour, a man comes into the bike shop where Amir works with an indigo bike. Amir’s coworker and ex immediately invites Jae, the cute cyclist, to accompany them and their biking group on their next adventure.<br>Unfortunately, Jae brings along his boyfriend Declan, and Amir wonders if the horoscope meant he could learn from their relationship. At first they seem like a typical couple, but the more Amir pays attention, the more worried he becomes. His fear peaks when he finds out Jae’s bike isn’t the only thing indigo about him ...

Indigo Guides the Way

Hayden sighed. “It’s bad. Jae is either a class A enabler or Declan has him wrapped around his finger so tightly that Jae can’t tell the difference between what Declan wants and what’s truly good for him. Kept insisting that Declan is wonderful on his good days and manageable on his bad ones, but when I brought up medication or having Declan go to a support group, it was a knee jerk, ‘He doesn’t need those.’ He doesn’t even see a therapist. Apparently he saw a psychiatrist a couple times but all he did was treat him like the bad guy and give him a prescription.” Hayden snorted. “I remember those days. I got so paranoid during my manic episodes I thought everyone wanted to shut me in an institution and forget about me. He needs a therapist, though. Psychiatrists…some of them will listen to you and offer non-medicated solutions, but in my experience therapists are way better at helping you cope.”
