He takes Luke to the cabins, just the two of them, to rest and regroup, and Blake thinks things were going well. Until it isn’t, and Luke ends their friendship.
Blake is sent reeling and has no choice but to deal with the aftermath solo. Forced to look inward and face some hard truths, Blake hits rock bottom, and the only person he needs is nowhere to be found.
Luke needs time to get his head and heart in order, and he needs distance from the man he loves but can never have. But when Blake tracks him down, prepared to give him everything he dreamed of, it seems too good to be true.
Before they can have a future, they need to unpack the past. And to move forward, they need to first let go. Atrous no longer exists but the music remains, and even when the lights go out, some flames still burn.
