Cam might not have brought his camera with him to dinner, but he didcome bearing gifts. When the doorbell rang at quarter to six, Preston opened the door to find Cam on the porch, a paper bag in one hand and a large manila envelope in the other. “What’s all this?” Preston asked as he stepped back to allow Cam to come inside.

“I brought you something.” Cam didn’t make it two steps into the foyer before Preston’s arms eased around his waist and caught him in a lingering kiss.
