Extra Credit

At 31, William is happy, kind of. He has an apartment, and a job teaching at the local college. He also has a bad habit of cruising on dating apps when he’s lonely and bored, and a dead-end crush on Tyler, who has been out of sight and out of mind, off with his girlfriend in Australia.

But Tyler’s about to move back into his life, in a big way. In a moment of generosity, William offers Tyler a place to crash after a break-up. Tyler’s back in town, licking his wounds, just as kind and clever as William remembered, although now he also hangs out shirtless in William’s living room.

How will he handle the tension and frustration of living a few feet from his crush, trying to juggle keeping on top of his grading and keeping his sanity? How much longer can he keep insisting that he’s happy to live a life of the mind and ignore the incredible body doing yoga in his lounge? Tyler cooking him dinner every night is just being a good houseguest, or is he trying to be teacher’s pet?

What happens if your first coming-of-age stalled? How young is too young for a mid-life crisis? Can you do both at once? William is about to find out.
