George Martin and Mike Foster have been best friends since childhood, but recent events have brought them even closer together: Mike has moved into George’s house now that George’s unfaithful boyfriend has been kicked out. It puts Mike in a pinch, because he’s always loved George -- maybe more than a best friend should.<br><br>George doesn’t suspect Mike’s feelings, being wrapped up in his job as the youngest lieutenant in the Jacksonville sheriff’s office and investigating a series of murders. But it will all come to a head when George is stalked by a psycho and Mike steps in front of a bullet meant for George. George then realizes there’s much more to their relationship than he thought.

Bodies of Work

WE FOUND THE nursery in Waynesville, placed our order, and delivery was promised for the following Wednesday. Back at the cabin, we crawled into the hammock and enjoyed the sounds of nature. A little after lunch, the boys turned up, and we showed them what we wanted done with the peat and the mulch. We also gave them a copy of Mike’s drawings, which detailed where all of the shrubs and plants were to be planted when they were delivered. Carl and Jim appeared a little later, looking more than a little bit sated, and we ordered pizza. The weekend assumed its own pace, and before we knew it, Sunday evening had arrived.
