Dan Collins is a single man again after twenty years, so he's learning to live his best life, enjoying all the things that marriage to a woman had deprived him of. He's taken to occasionally cruising the video booths of adult bookstores to make connections, since he can't come out, at least for the next year...

And who should he meet but little Johnny Stowden—all growed up and all glowed up... Embarrassed, they agree to meet back at Dan's place, where they reconnect after five years, sharing their stories and feeling the chemistry. Sparks fly, but can they control themselves and allow things to develop, or will they give in and risk blowing it?

This is a short story ending in a happy for now. May become a continuing series.
