Chasing The Light by Alexis Hall

This companion novella is included in the republished edition of Waiting for The Flood!

Marius is still trying to figure out his life years after leaving his long term boyfriend (sweet baby angel Edwin) and other life changes. By chance he is rescued my Leo, who is also trying to rediscover himself. This unlucky duo helps each other find a new perspective on life and love.

While I didn't love Marcus's choices, I did enjoy him as the imperfect character he is. I can't hate on him too much because he hates on himself enough. He's very self-aware of his shortcomings and does try to fix things when he goes too far. Leo is perfect for him, giving him a dose of reality and unexpectedly inspiring him. Leo offers Marius the opportunity to explore himself and grieve his loss without any expectations, joining Leo on his journey of self-discovery.
