Fawn on the Moon

In 1974, Gerry Faun gets the break of his life -- an opportunity to meet gorgeous, openly bisexual, glam-rock idol Mark Devon. Mark's world is new, exciting, and Gerry finally gets to explore the side of his sexuality he's kept hidden. But the press is everywhere, and when Gerry's father gets wind of what's going on behind his back, Gerry ends up on the street. Mark offers to let Gerry come along with the tour and Gerry jumps at the chance. The tour is a never-ending party -- and the start of what seems to be a perfect relationship for him and Mark. Until Mark's manager decides Gerry isn't worth the trouble he's stirring up. In 1994, Gerry is finally coming out of some tough times -- he has a job that pays the bills, a car that hasn't quite broken down, and a small rental in Jersey City. After a decade of barely getting by, if life was as good as it was going to get, Gerry figures he'll manage just fine. It would be easier if he wasn't still haunted by the man the media won't let him forget, the man who stole his heart and then broke it ... the man who’s shown up pleading for a second chance.

Chapter 39

“I don’t want to have to—” Gerry had to cut himself off, only realizing he was about to add ‘say goodbye to you again’ at the last second. He swallowed hard and firmed his shoulders. “See you ever again.”

That would work. And it was just as close to the truth as his first thought had been. He stepped to the curb and lifted his arm to hail a cab.

“Can I at least give you my number?” Mark asked. “In case you change your mind?”

“I won’t.”

A yellow cab pulled up alongside him and switched off its overhead light. Nothing else was said as Gerry climbed into the back seat, and he surprised himself by keeping his voice steady enough to give the driver his address. He surprised himself even more by not looking back.
