Tristan Jaxx and Leo Forte

Yesterday, Jesse was living a quiet life with his partner of *******s in the quiet Silicon Valley town of San Jose.

The two webgeeks shared a split-level ranch and worked for 140 hours a week between the two of them,

accumulating stock options and huge cash bonuses as an icy rift silently grew between them.

Coming home early to surprise his husband wasn't such a great idea, Jesse quickly learned.

Throwing whatever belongings he could into his suitcase, he hopped on the first train north and ended up in San Francisco.
