Straight guy sucked by gay guy

I saw him, Eli, across the park, and I knew right then, this gay heart had found its match. He was sketching, lost in his own world, worlds away from my structured corporate life, the life of a man from a traditional background, the life that had felt so disconnected from the vibrant LGBT community until now. I, Zach, the corporate suit, knew I had to walk over to him and say something, anything, to break the ice and discover this captivating mystery. We talked for hours, sharing laughs and dreams, and I realized that sometimes, love blossoms in the most unexpected places, with the most unexpected people, and this was the start of my happily ever after.
