Grover “Shep” Shepherd is the only thing Felix Medrano loves more than being the current darling of Hollywood. He throws a star-studded surprise engagement party to declare their love to the world, and it’s a smash, save for one detail: Shep is a no-show. Felix knows Shep missed his flight home from New Orleans, but that was hours ago. What’s the hold up?<br><br>Shep’s still at the airport is what, watching flight after flight wing westward without him. Each time he sends Felix a progress report via text message, Felix replies with a romantic photo from their past, and Shep spends much of his airport odyssey Remembering When. It’s easy to see how these two fell in love, but can Shep possibly make it home in time to celebrate with Felix and their friends?

Say Cheese

Felix shrugged. “They might be my in-laws one day,” he ventured. “No harm in getting on their good side, is there?” He smiled.


“Yeah, I wouldn’t worry about that. After this trip, I’d say you can pretty much consider their love bought.”


Felix narrowed his eyes. “Are you sure you’re okay? Cuz you don’t sound okay.”


“It’s just…” Shep sifted through his options, and was pretty sure he was going to say the less hurtful so much, but out it popped. “Enough already.”


Felix invited elaboration with raised eyebrows.


“We’re not fancy, Felix. The dinners, the clothes, now this place? You’re rich, we get it. Settle down.”


Felix removed his arm from around Shep’s waist. “I’m rich? What’s that supposed to mean? We’re rich, babe, I hate to break it to you.”
