We've all had the experience of losing touch with friends. Sometimes the time just slips away from us, and that's exactly what happened to Alex and Kurt. Mr. Williams does an outstanding job of conveying the hurt that Alex felt when he tried to contact Kurt. The inability to find him caused Alex to feel rejected. When they run into each other Kurt tries to make up his absence to Alex and goes wildly overboard. This is a character-driven story that has been re-written from an original short story; it has been expanded and a new ending added. What I liked most about this story is the way the reader can get the POV of both characters and understand their motivations and behaviors. While Kurt finds Alex to be stubborn and Alex believes Kurt to be aloof we know they are both blind to their own faults. A terrific love story and one that I highly recommend.
