Things aren't easy for Todd: he's a freshman in college, his parents are majorly uptight, he can't get anywhere with girls, and he just drank too much at his first party. Fortunately, gorgeous and out Shane comes to his rescue, and for the first time in his life, Todd makes a move on a man. He's horrified the next morning, and tries to distance himself, since his family would disown him if they found out. But he winds up meeting Shane again and he's more than a little attracted. Will Todd listen to his heart, or will he play it safe and deny his feelings?

In this sequel to “Hard Choices”, Todd brings his partner Shane over for Thanksgiving. As things go from bad to worse, poor Todd wonders if the situation will ever get better. Can he convince his family to leave well enough alone? This story is part of the 2011 Charity Sip Blitz collection.
