Sometimes you have to look to the past to find your future.
Rob Gentner thought he’d moved on from his family’s lack of acceptance after they discover he’s gay. But when he and his partner return to his hometown for his father’s funeral, he realizes some hurts you never outgrow. His first summer home from college and accidental outing is a story he’s never shared with David. Until now.
Caring for Rob is David Morris’ great, if not always easy, passion in life. He knows Rob never made peace with his father but doesn’t know why. Can he find a way to help Rob get the closure he needs to focus on their future?
Together, the two men revisit Rob’s past and discover that while first times will always be remembered, the last time is the one that truly counts.

Thanks for coming with me.” David Morris
