Driving in Circles

An oblivious roadie and a lighting designer with self-confidence issues…will they ever manage to communicate what they want?

All Dave wants is a low-stress job driving flight cases around, loading and unloading, rinse and repeat. Then he can mate. Never thought of himself as anything other than straight. It’s a shock when he suddenly realises he has a massive crush on the guy.

It’s more than a shock for Richie when Dave turns up at a Heggarty’s Bow gig with an empty truck instead of a van full of kit. There’s no time for Richie’s usual low-key flirtation with the oblivious Dave whilst they’ve got twelve hours to rig a show in the middle of nowhere. And it’s not Dave’s fault the steering on the van blows out on the way home, either.

Thrown together overnight in a hotel, will Dave confide his attraction to Richie? Or will Richie snap first and make a move? Surely all the time they’ve spent in the van driving around the country means they’ve had plenty of time to talk. Or does it?
