The night before Noah Hill left his hometown of Mountain View, he had a drunken sexual tryst with his best friend, Lucas Wesson. Deeply in the closet, Noah is horrified at his behavior, and terrified of what Lucas would think of him. He left the next morning without saying goodbye, and effectively cut off all ties. He returns five years later to help his father, and runs into his old best friend almost as soon as he reaches town. And nothing has changed. He still loves Lucas, and he still can't stand to meet the other man's eyes.<br><br>Lucas has been through a lot in the past five years without his best friend's support. A marriage. A divorce. A child. Running his own business. He also remembers his one night with Noah with perfect clarity. For five years, he only wanted Noah to come home. But now that Noah is back, things have changed too much to ever be the same between them ...

My Only Home

“Really, I don’t mind. I’m happy to do it.”


Luke smiled. “Thanks. I appreciate that.”


Marty kissed Lily’s cheek and swept a dark curl from her forehead. “I’ll come see you tomorrow, okay?”


“I love you, too, baby.” She kissed Luke’s cheek. “I’m sure she’ll be feeling better in the morning. I’ll go get her car seat for you.”


She turned to Noah. “How long are you going to be around, stranger?”


“Um.” Noah’s mind seemed to be about a minute behind everybody else’s. “I guess about a week.”


“Well, I hope I’ll see you again. Walk me out, and I’ll give you the carseat.”


He fished his keys out of his pocket and passed them to Luke. “I’ve got the green Toyota parked out on the street. I’ll meet you there.”
