Summary
When Sal sees Tommy truly out and happy for the first time, he knows a door has closed. Other ones don't have to be.
excerpt:
Tommy isn't the only old friend he'd like to clap eyes on, so he scans again, quickly finding Hen and Karen. They're dancing close to some of the other 118'ers that were after his time, the long legged one dancing happily with…
Sal feels the blood drain out of his face, his hand squeezing enough to almost break the glass.
The key to his stealthiness has always been to keep moving, to mask his steps with the rhythm of the crowd so that prying eyes pass right on over him.
It's definitely not to sit there, stiff as a board, staring gobsmacked at how fucking happy the love of his life looks with someone else.

Summary
Tommy is pretty much the happiest he's ever been, being with Evan, reconnecting with his old friends. Unfortunately it doesn't stop the hurricane of emotions upon the news that his first love has finally come out. Luckily, Hen Wilson won't let him wait out the storm alone.
excerpt:
Tommy's entire world turns on a dime and he's back in their old apartment. The fights, the uneven hardwood under his feet, the moment the place started to feel like a cage rather than a haven. And how many long, long days and nights it took to not want to go back anyway.
Sal. Boyfriend. Sal. Out. Sal…
Sal…
Tommy puts all his energy into keeping his face under control. He wants to cry, or cheer, or throw up. He wants to run, away from Sal or to him he's not sure. Are his knees about to give out? They feel like they are.
His only tell is a helpless glance at Hen. She knew. She always knew even if they never talked about it.
