The Weekender

“Nope. I don’t even know if that was his real name. Not that it mattered.”


“Hell yeah. I worked too hard to find you.”


“If I see you again, what’s in it for me?”


He laughs. “I’ll show you.” And then he kisses me, squeezes me close to him, and causes me to believe that it’s possible for me to fall in love with another man. The kiss is long and passion-driven, and exactly what I had hoped for.
