That One Thing

A short story

Alex Ross expects to grow up during his four years at MIT, but he doesn't anticipate exactly how much things will change. Graduating valedictorian of his class opens the world to him in ways he never imagined.

A surprise visit from his boyfriend, Jared Douglas, shocks Alex into the realization he's no longer sure how the pieces of his life fit together. He's faced with the fact boyhood dreams might not suit the man.

Jared is determined Alex will have the chance to make his own decisions.

It's Jared's steadfast love and the knowledge he will be there regardless of what Alex chooses that gives him the confidence to search his heart for that one thing he needs to be happy.
