The Last Dance

Achilles has had a long and celebrated career as a professional ballet dancer, and when his final role—as the lead in Romeo and Juliet—brings him back to New York for the first time in ten years, he expects to spend his time reconnecting with his former mentor and figuring out what he’s doing with the rest of his life. What he doesn’t expect is to see Patroclus again.

Patroclus is thriving, a well-respected stage manager for one of the city’s premier ballet companies, secure and confident, and absolutely not still hung up on Achilles after a decade apart. Suddenly, a job that Achilles thought was going to be the perfect way to bow out becomes a constant reminder of the person he used to be and all the ways he hurt the people around him.

Can Achilles survive a month of seeing Patroclus every day and being consummately ignored? Or will he finally have to face the ghosts of his past and right the wrongs he thought he’d left behind?
