Summary
Rafael is 44 years old and so deep in the closet that he could have tea with Mr. Tumnus. Trying to come out when he was young didn't go well (understatement of the year) so he just closed and locked the closet door. One night after way too much scotch, he got up the nerve to check out a high-end escort service that he'd run across during a trial a few months back. One of the ads caught his attention. A tall, slender young man with classic good looks who stated that he was into kissing and cuddling and stated: No judgment, just good easy friendly fun. So he dialed, set up the date, gave his credit card and then forced himself not to back out at the last minute.
