Summary
Troy Barrett has always known how to be exactly what other people needed.
When he meets Dallas Kent it feels like being seen in a way he's never experienced. He feels wanted, chosen. For a while that's enough to ignore the edge of the quiet corrections, the subtly put downs and the control that has Troy slowly start losing pieces of himself with out noticing.
Harris Drover notices.
And when Troy begins to unravel under the weight of a relationship he can't quite name as wrong, Harris is left watching someone he cares about slip further away.
Until one night, Troy finally asks for help.
But leaving doesn't mean being free. Doesn't mean you're healed.
What is does mean is something new is beginning.
And that matter. So, it had to be enough.
