The Boy and the Sage
Joe had always been able to read people well. Whether it was his school peers or the employees at his job, he could easily glean information from them that they weren’t willing to share. It came in handy as he worked his way up the corporate ladder.
But there was one person he couldn’t read–his childhood friend, Tom. No matter how hard Joe tried, he just couldn’t get a read on Tom. He knew there was something hidden beneath the surface, but wasn’t sure what it was.
Until one day, Joe lost his job and his marriage fell apart. Sitting alone in his apartment, all of the pieces finally came together and he recognized what was happening–Tom had been keeping a secret from him all these years.
It turned out that Tom had been gay since elementary school and never told Joe because he didn’t want to burden him with his struggles. But now that Joe had been kicked out of his home and everything else in his life was falling apart, Tom decided it was time to tell him.

In the days following their conversation, Joe struggled to make sense of everything that had happened and wondered if maybe moving away from Tom hadn’t been such a bad idea after all…
