“My double life is crumbling around me.”

RICKY:
Denying who I am isn’t fair on anyone, but I want to be strong enough to come out on my own terms. I’m torn between the truth and what’s expected of me, and I’m not sure I can keep hiding behind a cocky grin.

Then a gorgeous guy challenges me in my own diner. His every word draws me in like a moth to flame, but if I get so close that anyone finds out, we’re both going to end up burned.

“I’m too clumsy to hold onto anything good.”

CEDAR:
Everything I touch breaks, and I’m trapped doing the dirty work while I try to find my way out. I want to learn to stand up for myself, but despite trying to start easy, it quickly gets harder than ever.

I can’t believe the cocky cook who couldn’t crisp up my bacon is still in the closet, because Ricky gives me the strength to be me—but the bravest version, like I need him to be for me. Will true love bloom forever, or will our fears wither it away?
