Ezra understands that on a personal level. Mason also seems to have a painful secret - one that causes him to push everyone away. He knows he would pick a movie night with Mason over a threesome. But when he meets Mason, he feels more of a connection than he has ever felt through sex.

His charisma, looks, and differences get him noticed and he loves having one night of satisfaction and connection, all while having the ability to never sleep with that person again if they aren't right for him. Growing up poor on a reservation isn't exactly something his rich peers can identify with and that is apparent whenever Ezra brings it up. His dad would hate it if he knew.Įzra Heart sticks out like a sore thumb. Even if he did, Mason isn't supposed to be into guys. He just doesn't see how Ezra could feel the same way. Mason knows he is feeling more than friendship here. Soon enough, Mason finds himself engaging in late night chats that go on for hours, day trips, hiking, and going to the theater every week to see Ezra perform.

But on the first night he meets Ezra Heart, he tells him that he loves to write, something he has never told anyone.

And while he has friends, he has never been able to completely confide in any of them. His parents - who have been loving towards him - aren't known for their affectionate gestures and words. For the last five years, Mason Whitaker has struggled opening up to people.
