PART ONE

With Patrick out of his life, Derek attempts to go on with daily life and put the young man out of his mind. But thoughts of Patrick haunt his heart and his dreams. With help from his friends - and a deeper look within his own heart - Derek begins to understand that love is not just a "feeling"... but a willingness to sacrifice.

Patrick struggles to convince himself and Brian that he wants nothing to do with Derek, but with each passing day, that conviction weakens. When everything concerning Derek is suddenly exposed to everyone in his life, Patrick finds himself alone, no longer certain who is friend or foe... or who he can trust.
