Ghost of a Chance

Derek cleared his throat, and Blake looked up, thinking Derek knew what he’d been thinking about. But Derek’s gaze was fixed on the far wall as he pushed his eggs around on his plate with his fork.


Derek shook himself and gave Blake a small smile. “Well, we need to talk about, you know, living arrangements. You haven’t been back to your house in more than a week, and we can’t keep—” He sighed. “I don’t want to keep living apart. So, yeah.”
