Distant Swimmer

Shy and scholarly, long-distance swimmer Ryan Zwick thinks he’s the only gay member of the college swim team. He keeps his head down in the showers, and his head in the books the rest of the time. But when a sporty new transfer student joins the team, Ryan feels a surge of hope. Sexually inexperienced and looking for love, fellow swimmer Blake Gossens is everything Ryan wants in a boyfriend. But what is Blake’s game, exactly? And just how straight is he? Blake seems to be more interested in Ryan’s best friend, Marissa, leaving Ryan to go back to secretly checking out his teammates in the pool. But Ryan keeps getting mysterious messages in his dating app from a stranger who seems to know a lot about him. Could this messenger be Blake? Or someone else? When bad weather hits unexpectedly, Ryan is forced to confront his real feelings toward Blake, while opening up to the stranger by his side, eventually giving in to his wildest fantasies -- and his heart.

“Go ahead. Mock my family’s heritage,” Ryan pouted at Marissa.

“Whatever. You know you’re cute. You don’t need me to tell you,” said Marissa, reaching up to move a wisp of brown hair from Ryan’s wrinkled brow. “Let’s just relax and have fun tonight, okay?”

Ryan breathed in, and then exhaled slowly, “Relax. Got it. Now let’s go!” The two friends walked out of Marissa’s house and turned into Oak Street, where they could hear the booming dance music oozing from the rundown bungalow with the overgrown yard. They were some of the first to arrive, shifting through the dark and empty rooms of Blake’s house, wondering if the whole thing was a bust.
