Gregory Sanders was nothing like Nicholas Stokes.
Greg was loud, offbeat and had the hyper-activity of the energizer bunny. Greg was an only child. He was a surfer, knew about liquid latex, and loved to blast Marilyn Manson.
Nick was the good old Texas boy. He was quiet, dependable, and loyal to a tee. He came from a big family and wanted to save the world.
When people saw Nick and Greg together, they didn't understand it.
There were a lot of things about Nick and Greg that nobody knew. Nobody knew that Greg had a sweet, sensitive side under his coffee addiction. Nobody knew that Nick put on a mask around almost everyone besides Greg. Nobody knew that the only thing that got Nick and Greg through the really hard cases was knowing that at the end of the day they would get to go home (together).
Everyone knew what they saw, but nobody knew what went on behind closed doors.
Yes, Nicholas Stokes and Gregory Sanders were different in a lot of ways, but they had one very important thing in common. When they looked in each other's eyes, they both knew that they had found the one person that they would love for the rest of their lives.
