Chapter 3

Tyler nodded. “All right. See you there.” He turned and walked back into the diner.

Jack arrived ten minutes early and waited in front for Tyler to show up. If he did. Jack had no reason to think Tyler wouldn’t.

But while he waited, Jack wondered what he was even doing here. Jack was seeing someone. Kinda sort of. Okay, yeah, he had a boyfriend. A long distance one who he only saw on weekends, but Jack was not the cheating sort. Not these days anyway. But Tyler was damn edible.

He could just leave, but that was shitty. Tyler didn’t deserve to be stood up. And Jack had asked himout.

Soon it was five after seven though and Jack began to wonder if the whole thing wasn’t moot. Maybe Tyler really had stood Jack up.

The door of the restaurant opened and in walked Tyler. He wore jeans that could have been painted on and a gray long sleeved T-shirt. On anyone else the clothes would be plain and boring. There was nothing boring about Tyler.

“Hi, Jack.”
