My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Greg Lampeter, a solo practice lawyer starting to find his footing after leaving a large firm, agrees to take on an intriguing case on principle for a new client named Steven. However, Greg's attention is entirely derailed by Steven's moral-support companion, assistant swimming coach Mark Baker, with whom he shares an immediate, powerful attraction. While trying to maintain professional boundaries for Steven's sake as they tackle a serious college dispute involving a lacrosse coach, Greg must navigate a delicate legal line to secure justice for Steven while safeguarding Mark and their growing relationship from becoming collateral damage.
This was such a wonderful, heartfelt short story. I loved how sensitively it handled a very serious, emotional topic without ever letting it become needlessly sensationalized. One of my favourite aspects was how Greg immediately took Steven seriously, crafting a thoughtful strategy focused entirely on removing the offending coach to protect others rather than chasing monetary compensation. It gave the story a lot of integrity and heart. Despite being a shorter read, the emotional depth was great —the feelings and struggles throughout were clear, raw, and very easy to connect with. I also deeply appreciated how Greg and Mark managed to intentionally carve out space to isolate their budding relationship from the heavy college legal battle, protecting what they were building. A touching, well-balanced, and rewarding read. This was an MM story with mature content.
