With his beloved necklace destroyed at the hands of his irrational father, Lonny feels the loss deep within his heart. His only connection to the boy from his past -is gone. Encountering Jack Flemming and his group when he is at his most vulnerable devastates Lonny as he is forced to pour out his anguish for all to see and ridicule. Yet he is startled to detect hesitation in Jack, and even Travis, when they are urged by Ashley Winters to torment him. Jack has always taken great pleasure in humiliating Lonny -what has changed? Rescued by Paul and with plans to finally make love, Paul asks Lonny to tell him the story of the necklace...and the boy he loved so long ago. Having held the story secretly and protectively in his heart for five years, revealing it to no one, Lonny knows it's time to share and that it's safe to reveal the deepest, most cherished part of his heart with Paul.
