College professor and website designer Drew Hampton has had only one great love in his life. A loner as a teen, he found solace in art, his self-styled mullet, and the television show ALF. Then a new boy moved in next door, and he discovered love. Mechanic Wes Harrison was thrown into adult responsibility at a young age. He’s managed to build a good life through hard work and determination; however, he hasn’t been in a relationship since high school. Drew and Wes were deeply in love thirty years ago, but then they were torn apart. Unlucky at relationships after their separation, both men treasured memories of their one true love. Fate intervenes and gives them a second chance. Will they rekindle their once great love and find happiness, or has too much time gone by?

I mulled over her request for a phone call for a few days, vacillating between confidence that this would be about negotiating my fee, and uncertainty that I had made a grave misstep. I never could handle confrontation well.


Steeling my nerves, I settled down in my favorite chair with a glass of whiskey and dialed Jessica’s number.


“Jessica, hi. It’s Drew. From Drew’s Web Designs?”


“Drew! Thank you so much for calling me.”


“Absolutely. Is there a problem with the work we discussed?”


“No, no! Not at all. I’m afraid I might have meddled where I shouldn’t have.”


Her brother must not have wanted to spend money on a website. “I can discontinue work on the website. It’s no problem at all.”


“It isn’t the website, actually. You know my brother. Quite well, from what I understand.”


What was she going on about? “You must be mistaken. I’ve never been to Allentown and I don’t believe I’ve ever known anyone by the name of Russell McNee.”
