Take the Leap (New Halliday 3)

Neil Bierker is a bit famous in New Halliday: he's the kid who jumped off the bypass when he was sixteen. At twenty-seven he�s a third grade teacher who manages his depression through running, boxing, and one night a week with Clem Robbins.� He can keep everything else in his life together, as long as for a few hours every week it all falls away.� Clem wants more than one night a week. The way he sees it, if one night�s good, wouldn�t more be better? But he�s had three years of good sex with a man twenty years younger than him and he�s not about to blow it by asking for more, even if he thinks it�s what both of them want.� When Neil�s life begins to unravel, the last thing he wants to do is rely on Clem to keep him upright. Sometimes it takes a crisis to realize just how many people are on your side�and just what you�re willing to do to keep them there.
