He needed to stop running.
He needed to stop hiding.
When Ashford invites Vin to his basketball court one evening, neither man expects what comes next. Vin is anxious, observant, and afraid of letting anyone close. Ashford is confident, guarded, and slowly drowning in cigarette smoke and avoidance. But in each other, they find something real.
As they fall deeper, Vin's anxiety and Ashford's addiction become the things they fight together. They build something genuine, something that feels like home. Every kiss, every late-night conversation, every moment of vulnerability brings them closer. For the first time, both men believe in love.
But when Vin gets the opportunity of a lifetime two months in Miami with a prestigious gallery everything fractures. Ashford can't follow. Vin can't stay. Neither knows if two months apart will bring them back together or tear them forever apart.
Because sometimes love isn't enough to bridge the distance.
Unless it is.
