Matthew Tucker is a successful actor on a hit television show, his career on the rise. Life is good. What more could he want? Daniel Westman, that’s what – his co-star and close friend.
Matthew’s attraction to Daniel grows day by day, feeling there’s something between them, just under the surface. But months go by, with Matthew afraid to tell Daniel he was falling in love with him. Because if he was wrong and Matthew was looking too deeply into it…he’d lose his best friend.
So instead Matthew longs for Daniel in silence, until an accident on set may leave Daniel permanently blind. With his friend hurt, scared and confused, his life possibly forever altered, Matthew never wavers from Daniel’s side, no matter how difficult it gets.
His dedication brings them closer than ever before, but is it possible to find happiness, and love, in the wake of a tragedy? Or has Matthew’s hesitation cost him that chance and he’ll lose Daniel to the darkness instead?

Matthew Tucker is an actor in a successful TV series. Matthew and Daniel Westman co-star together and their friendship has become very strong. One night a stunt Daniel was going to perform went very wrong. Negligence on the part of the prop company caused an explosion that left Daniel blind.
It was four months ago that Matthew left his longtime boyfriend because he realized that his feelings for Daniel went way beyond friendship. Matthew was always afraid of ruining their friendship by revealing his feelings. Now with Daniel hurt, he takes it upon himself to care for the man he loves. There is hope Daniel might see again, but that is not a given, so Matthew will stay with him if he needs him.
This was a short story about two men, one blinded and one willing to give up his career to care for the man he loves. I don’t want to reveal too much, so I will only say that this was a beautiful story and I enjoyed it very much.
