How much power is there in love? When we cross that final line into darkness, does the bond of love come with us?

From that I created the story of Terrance "Terry" Burgess and his adventure on the day of the NYC Pride Parade. Enjoy.

After years of self-deception, Dan had finally seen the proverbial light, thanks to some caring friends. Scott was a game-player, brazenly wreaking havoc with Dan's heart, and he had let him.

We met Maurice and David in The Watcher. This story stands alone, but it might be more enjoyable if you read The Watcher first.
