I remember a story I read, very early in my time on GA. A young man, maybe 15 or 16, doesn't get treated very well in school. The doorbell rings one day, and he opens it to find his tormentor standing there! Without waiting for an explanation, he winds up his arm and whacks the bully in the face! Turns out, the bully kid has a job painting houses, and the MC's mother hired him to do theirs. Well, eventually they settle into a tense sort of friendship, which turns into attraction, and then romance. But the MC still has nightmares. Beyond that, I can't remember much about it. It might have even been one of yours, Comsie. (Hey, there's a LOT of stuff to read through!)
