After his father's death, Miles returns to the farm he ran from ten years ago. When his past returns to haunt him, he has to decide if the memories will fence him in, or if he's ready to free himself from remembered pain and return home.
Miles ran away ten years ago, and left behind not just an abusive uncle and alcoholic father, but a teenage lover, Dillon. Can he come home again?
The Runaway is very short, but manages to pack a lot of emotion into a few words. There's not even a kiss in this story, but the depth of the two men's feelings is very clear. I would have liked more details of Miles' and Dillon's lives and why Miles felt he had to leave and stay away so long, though. It would have made things even more poignant.
