After spending high school in the closet, the last thing Jett Walker wants is to go to his thirty year class reunion. Then the one person he was never able to resist decides to attend -- punk rocker Trev Chambers. Trev was the epitome of everything Jett wanted to be, and now he’s reuniting the band he made famous for a final blowout concert. Though nobody back home knows he’s gay, Jett decides to go. He needs closure. One weekend of pretending he’s straight is more than worth it. When he discovers Trev lives less than two hours away, Jett seeks him out on a whim. The punk rocker has grown up, but as far as Jett’s concerned, Trev is more appealing than ever. He’s also available. One brief conversation turns into a date, which raises the question ... are they just living in nostalgia, or can they find a way to build a real future together?

“You’re coming with me,” he said.


“Oh, no,” Tatum said. “I am not being your beard.”


“I’ll tell everybody we’re just friends.”


“Only because you know they’ll all assume we’re dating anyway.” She snatched back her phone, though she hesitated to close the window on Trev’s picture. “Gay, huh? Figures.”


“I’ll do it just like you said,” Jett coaxed. “I’ll pay for everything, we’ll just go to the concert, and then we’ll fly home. One weekend of your life. That’s it.” When she didn’t respond, he went around to face her more directly, grabbing onto her hands to get her full attention. “I can’t do this without my best friend there. I’m going to embarrass myself otherwise.”


Her gaze softened. “You won’t. You’re not capable.”
