Amir has been through so many bad relationships that he finally turns to the horoscopes in his local paper for advice. 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

Once again, the pressure of fear left no room for bottled up emotions in Amir’s chest. “Yes, okay?” Amir snarled. “I fucking have a crush on him. I think he’s sweet and cute and I’d love to cuddle up with him on a porch swing on summer nights while we sip fucking wine coolers, but at this point I’d settle for getting him away from a boyfriend who fucking beats him.” Amir was breathing heavily, his muscles itching to spring into action but his mind not sure of what to do. More calmly he said, “I want him to be happy and loved because it’s what he deserves. Doesn’t have to be with me, I’m used to being single. I just want him away from Declan.” Counter to what Amir expected, Ken smiled knowingly. “Are you saying that’s what would make youhappy?”


Amir wondered if they were having the same conversation. “Y-Yeah, it would. Are you even paying attention to what I’m saying?”


“Oh, I am. And I’m amused that that horoscope was right. You have been guided to your happiness.”
