Rating: E
State: 2/16
Summary: When Chris meets Leon Kennedy, currently one of the most sought-after models in the industry, at his sister’s party, the sexual attraction between them is immediate and undeniable. They spend a night together, but before Chris can learn more about Leon, he is gone the next morning. Disappointment settles over Chris, but weeks later their paths cross again. Leon is still in high demand, yet behind the perfect photos, the glamorous lifestyle, and the dazzling smile, Chris soon discovers the sad, dark truth about him: the relentless pressure of the fashion world, the sleepless nights caused by an abusive ex-boyfriend, and the constant fear of losing a job because his body might carry 0.1 percent too much fat. As everything in Leon’s life begins to fall apart, Chris decides, against all reason, not to give up on him. But helping someone escape a life like that requires more than simply standing by their side. It means time, setbacks, lies, pain - and the risk of breaking yourself in the process.
