[Club Descent 02] • Ascent

The continuation... Giles and Joshua.

We may look the same, but I'm nothing like my twin.

For years, I followed my brother into every dark corner he ventured, to be his guiding light. And then life changed. Ted found the one thing I could never tell him I wanted.

Want I did. The man in the shadowed corners, the lurker who wouldn't play. The voyeur who'd caught my eye. He was who I craved.

For weeks I spilled my heart, my hopes and dreams, to a man with no voice. To a man who couldn't hear. Joshua Templeton had caught me totally unaware. And when he woke up - the hurdles we had to face were far greater than expected.

Joshua was not the man I thought he was. But I refused to leave him behind, the mountain he had to climb, far easier with a helping hand. If only his past wasn't so hell bent on dragging him back.
