Mann of My Dreams Book 2: Things Happen That Way

“What the fuck do you mean you got shot? And why didn’t you tell me this before?”


“You want to tone down the volume a little, Theo? ... Thanks. It’s just a small bullet hole in my thigh, and I didn’t mention it because it wasn’t important.”


I smacked the back of his head. “Yes, it was!”


He rubbed his head and scowled, but continued to speak into the phone. “No, Matheson had no idea, so don’t pitch a fit at him. ... Look, I have to go. I need to take a painkiller.” Theo screeched again, but this time I couldn’t make out his words. “Bye, Theo, I’ll see you tomorrow.” He disconnected the call. “Guess I shouldn’t have used that for an excuse.”


“I guess you shouldn’t have. Do you need something?”


To which Mark replied, “You’re hanging out with me too much, Mann.”


“It can never be too much.” I stole a quick kiss. “By the way, did Theo happen to tell you how Val is doing?”
