Ghost of a Chance

“You’re making…” Blake shook his head. “Is there anything you can’t do?”


Derek chuckled, pleased down to his core he’d impressed Blake yet again. Derek was showing off, and he liked that Blake noticed. He’d always taken care of people, but very few of those people had actually appreciated his gestures. In fact there were quite a few who had just taken it for granted. Blake seemed more than appreciative now they’d gotten past their initial stumbling blocks.

He shrugged. “You mentioned you liked Mexican, so I dug around in the cupboards, and this is what I could make.”


Blake stared wide-eyed for a long moment and then squinted. “I mentioned I liked Mexican once. In passing. In the middle of a very long, very involved story about my brother’s ill-advised tattoo.”


With a smile playing at the edges of his mouth, Blake shook his head. “And we just happened to have steak in the cupboards, hmm?”
