Chapter 10

Until Elias had turned into a good-looking guy and Liam had understood that people liked him. Elias was attractive with his black eyes and sharp face, innocent and sexual at the same time, so different from the typical Irish features. He was beautiful as he moved on the small dance floor at the Black Sheep, where Liam had found him one night. Many people told him he was beautiful and Elias believed it, because he noticed the way others looked at him. Ravenous eyes observing him in the darkness. Landmeadow for sure wasn’t Ireland’s answer to San Francisco—no rainbows on the street, but there were places where gay people could meet without any problems, and the Black Sheep was the best one.
