Sweet short story without angst.
Kurt and James are cute. And I want to share Kurt's last thoughts at the end of the story. He says that that they are many ways to tell someone you love them, and his favourite so far is patience. James had been very patient with Kurt, his love was obvious through his tender, patient care. *sighs*

Kurt and James are on the swim team together and James is helping Kurt with his technique to boost his times. They develop a relationship that is sweet and loving, with James demonstrating tremendous patience for his inexperienced boyfriend. The story was quick and sweet. I'm not sure if I fully understand the title of "Starting Over" because it was more of a new relationship between the men. Maybe it refers to Kurt having to start over after coming out to his parents? I'm not sur

I love how much James was willing to go slow and helped Kurt get more comfortable with himself. It seemed like he was a lifesaver when Kurt needed it most (*grumbles at unsupportive parents and friends*). My favorite passage: “Look at me.” He waited until Kurt looked down into his eyes, his own shiny with emotion. “That word doesn't describe what I want to do with you. I want to touch you in a way that will make you sigh instead of laugh.” His hands slipped to either side of Kurt's waist. “I wan

This story is special. Besides being well written and having rounded characters, it was beautiful. I wouldn't have thought that one of these stories would be thought provoking and I would have been wrong. Emotions were pulled to the forfront and when that happens, you have to look inside of yourself. What I really liked was that all this was achieved through simplicity. This wasn't a hard read so for it to have been able to go there made it all the more special. A realy enjoyable read, thank you

That was such a romantic story. I was expecting something rather different, based on the original image used as foundation. But this turned out to be a very pleasant surprise.
Both Kurt and James were sweet characters, each with their own insecurities. And the way they clicked together, Kurt slowly learning to trust and allow himself the freedom of feeling. And James patient and supportive while teasing and teaching Kurt more than swimming techniques.
It was a pleasure read

Story Prompt:
Where is this guy? What’s he looking at, I wonder? And is that guy down the hall watching him with longing? Maybe he’s been too shy to make his move before now. Maybe he’s trying to build up his courage. So, what do you think? Can you help the shy little guy get his happy ending?

Loved this story Sara! Kurt's struggle to accept himself when others had rejected him felt real, and I loved James' struggle to give Kurt the time he needed.
He learned there were many ways to tell someone you love them. His favorite, so far, was patience.
A perfect ending... Thank you.

What a sweet and romantic story. Kurt is incredibly insecure about every aspect of his life and James is exactly who Kurt needs to learn to love himself. I loved this story and was so happy to see the hopeful ending....or would that be beginning of the next stage of their relationship.

So maybe I'm a little biased since this story was written to fulfill my letter, but I thought it was very sweet. Loved the characters and the writing, and I really liked the ending. I can't wait to check out more of Sara's stuff!

REALLY enjoyed this story. The sweet romance without all the hurry & pressure really resonated with me. The humor added to the lightheartedness of the characters as well. Will read Sara's other works for sure. :D

This was ok but it would end a scene and skip unknown weeks, days, or month’s maybe? And pick up like the reader should just know what has happened during that time. I kept feeling lost and like I was only getting glimpses of a story
