You Showed Me Colors (I Can’t See With Anyone Else)

It was just moving out at the end of a lease and into a smaller, more affordable place. Nothing more. No problem…if not for the closet of things that sat neglected following the death of his husband.

Jack was 17 when he met his soulmate, Davey Jacobs, who filled his vision and life with unfathomable colors. Jack was 33 when Davey died and he felt the loss in everything he did, everywhere he looked. It’s been almost a year and a half since the accident and Jack’s gray and grief-stricken life has only been held together by the deep-rooted community he and his late husband built in their years together. But Jack isn’t sure that he’ll ever be able to want to live as much as everyone else wants him to, as much as he knows Davey would want him to. So he promises to try, even if trying is just going through the boxes of Davey’s things. Even if those boxes threaten to make him relive the darkest, loneliest time of his life and unravel his precariously balanced composure.
