Bigger Love

 

PROLOGUE

 

On a shore somewhere, two boys embrace, clinging, their bodies not pressed so tightly together out of desire, but from a need for comfort, for knowing that this moment is one to savor, because it may never come again.

Nearby…wind rushes through trees, and a thousand tiny voices lament the boys’ parting.

Nearby…stars twinkle in an impossibly black sky, not shining down exactly, but providing a jewellike backdrop for this unfortunate and drawn-out farewell.

Nearby…water rushes, slamming a shore in frustration at the separating of a pair who’d, once upon a time, proclaimed, “forever.”

Eyes meet. Lips touch. Minds and hearts meld, knowing that tomorrow nothing will ever be the same again.
