Sebastian's instinct was to hide. Hide everything. But that hadn't worked out then and it certainly hadn't been working now. He'd been too afraid, too caught up in his own fear and uncertainty, he hadn't fully lived when he had Jack and that was his greatest regret.

Not just for himself. Jack had deserved better. Jack had deserved more from him. And it had only been at the end that they had finally found themselves in a good place.

Sebastian realized he'd let himself get lost in his own head. "Jack. His name was Jack and he...he flirted first. In fact, he flirted for months before I finally flirted back."
