** spoiler alert ** 
 This story was originally part of "Men Under the Mistletoe", though the story is less about the holidays and more about facing your past when you return home after a long time. It does take place around Christmastime. 
 Mitch Evans left his small Texas town twelve hears ago after not only arguing with best friend and boyfriend Web Eisley about coming out, then then further arguing with his own father when he did come out, at least at home. The issues with the father were exacerbated by the fact that Mitch wanted to be a professional ballet dancer. After that fateful night twelve years ago, he left town and never returned...until now. 
 Mitch has achieved his dreams, for the most part. He is a somewhat successful Ballet dancer. He returns home to settle some of his father's estate after his death, and because he's at something of a crossroads. He doesn't expect the first person to to be Web Eisley, who's now a Texas Ranger. 
 This story, for the most part has two men dealing with their own communication issues, and Mitch trying to decide what he really wants. 
 I enjoyed it overall, even if everything wasn't completely ironed out in the end, you had the feeling it would eventually get there.
