Chapter 95

As I cleaned up the living room downstairs, I could smell meat…perhaps sausage? And cheese. Whatever he was making, I was getting hungry. My longtime friends would be coming into town tomorrow to spend a few days catching up, so Serge and I needed to make the most of today.

I hadn’t seen most of my buddies in a while, except for Bryce, who was running the new shop that Serge had renovated for me. He stopped by once a week to let me know how things were going. He wouldn’t be coming around this time, though, because he had a new boyfriend he was taking to Las Vegas. We would catch up when he got back.

After putting away the vacuum cleaner, I dusted and polished. Halfway through this task, I heard familiar footsteps. I turned around and saw Serge coming toward me with a plate of…muffins? And there were also two bottles of beer on a tray.
