We are gently led into the story by getting p.o.v's from both MC's of the beginning of their friendship. Ben is young, proud and out, finding his way as a junior actuary in an insurance firm. Adrian is older and has firmly shut the closet door after being bought to heel by earlier heartbreak and family obligations in running the insurance firm. Somehow the two men start a friendship but not a relationship until a fateful canoe trip - but Adrian's hold on the closet lock is strong and Ben ha s a hard fight to get the man of his dreams.
A nice, low angst story.
