The trip of a lifetime is the much deserved reward for the men and women who have worked tirelessly to become the best for Maestro, but no one is more deserving of this reward than Stan Maynor, the young man who is adored by his maestro, and who Maestro has fine tuned to become the leader of his band, and perhaps much more. This adoration by Kevin Mathews, or Maestro, is yet unknown to Stan, who is somewhat intimidated by the masterful maestro. Stan is excited about this once in a lifetime vacation, but only because his plans include seeing his lover, a man who Stan believes is unknown to anyone, including Maestro.Excerpt:The winter season held much more promise this year than it had in years past, at least for Kevin Mathews. This was Kevin's year. He was traveling to Orlando, Florida, as the maestro of the greatest university band in the nation. Kevin had spent hours upon hours preparing for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, working well into the night to create the perfect routine for his band to execute on the day of their national debut, just as they had executed every one of their performances in the past, be it for a small local audience or for one deemed of greater significance, with the precision of a stealth bomber.******The door to Maestro's office was closed, though not all the way. Stan was just about to knock when he heard Mr. Mathews' voice. It sounded as if he was on the phone with someone, and he sounded upset. "You know how hard I've worked for this. You don't care about what I want. All you care about is yourself. Well, I'm sick of your demands, Harry." This was a side of Maestro Mathews that Stan had never known. He sounded angry, but he sounded hurt, too. Who was Harry? "I've put my career on the line for you, Harry. You know as well as I do how hard it is out there for guys like us." Guys like us? Stan wondered what that meant. "How can you say that? If you loved me, you wouldn't put me through hell all the time. We'll talk later, Harry." ******Kevin asked the question whose answer he was not sure that he wanted to know. "Who is Marshall?" Stan's eyes were wide. Should he lie? He had kept his secret for so long that he didn't know what to do. "He's...he's...not who I thought he was," he said, slowly and deliberately. Kevin refused to be put off. "Is he your lover, your friend with benefits, your soul mate?" "No," Stan heard his words of betrayal loud and clear. "Who is he, Stan? He called a little while ago." "What did he want?" Stan dared to ask. In his harsh whispered voice, Kevin continued. "He wanted you to know that he called." "That's all?" "That's all, Stan. What is he to you?" Kevin was not going to let this go. That was very clear to Stan.
