Falling from Jupiter

By Benjamin Yeater

James Sterling stares at his phone. It's silent in his small apartment, but his mother's words ring in his ears. "Just so you know," she says, "Alyssa isn't going to be here." James thinks of Alyssa, and he immediately conjures every detail of her face. As a girl, she was his dear childhood friend. As a woman, she's the one who got away. Now, just when he thought he had a chance, Alyssa backs out of coming to his family's Christmas party. James reluctantly agrees to attend anyway, and when Alyssa does show up, the two quickly fall into old patterns. Unspoken passions roil just below the surface, but things immediately complicate with the unexpected arrival of several more people-Alyssa's husband and children. On Christmas Day, James finally confesses what's in his heart, and Alyssa must decide how to move forward. Will she give up everything and gamble on love? In his third published novel, Benjamin W. Yeater tells a tale of friendship, unrequited love, and the joys and tragedies that define every love story.
