Niles
I’ve trained my whole life for this—elite level gymnastics, gold medal dreams, proving I belong in a country passing laws to erase transgender athletes like me. It's not enough to compete. I fight to exist on the podium.
Other than my mom, my best friend Weston and his dad, Wyatt, are my only constants. They’ve been my anchors through everything. But Wyatt isn't just the man who's always been there to catch me when I fall—he's the man I've been in love with for as long as I can remember.
He's finally looking at me like he sees something more than the boy I used to be.
Wyatt sees the man I've become.
Wyatt
I've known Niles since he was a kid—sharp, driven, fearless, impossible not to admire.
But lately, that admiration has taken on a dangerous tone. There's an edge to him that has me noticing him in a way I'd never fathomed before. He's grown into a confident, stunning young man with an audacity that both intrigues and intimidates me.
Now every time he looks at me like he wants something more, I forget all the reasons I should say no. He makes me feel alive like I never have before.
Except, I'm his coach. I'm seventeen years his senior. And he's my son's best friend.
