Gravity by Romeo Alexander

Samuel: We dated in college, he ended it. We were drawn to each other again in Portland, I walked away. Twice we went our separate ways. It’s been years since I last saw Caleb, and now he’s back in Greenford. The quiet, predictable life I’ve built for myself has changed. Something is drawing us together again, and I don’t know what it means, but it’s nice to see him. I still have feelings for him, but we’ve crashed and burned twice before. If I can figure out why then maybe we have a chance this time around.

Caleb: My life has been turned upside down. Divorced, fired from a great job, and forced to move back to Greenford. The place has enough memories, but it seems it has one more memory waiting for me, Samuel. I shouldn’t be surprised that we’re falling back into old habits. We’re being drawn together once again despite previous break-ups. But that’s us, how we’ve always been. There’s gravity between us, pulling us toward each other no matter what. I just hope it doesn’t crush us this time.

Gravity. The force of attraction between two physical bodies. Can Samuel and Caleb escape their own personal gravity, or will they be inexorably drawn together a third time?
