Chapter 105

Eventually, father and son appeared, and I was introduced to Sidney. I helped Seb prepare a meal for hisparents. We ended up with biscuits, sausage, and gravy, since that was apparently a family favorite. I learned a lot about Seb growing up. He was an only child, much doted upon. His dad had worked for the railroad over thirty years, and his mom had been a high school teacher.

They were from a humble, God-fearing background, but had never once turned their backs on their gay son. I wished I’d been so lucky with my family and siblings. They were mostly indifferent and pretended I didn’t exist. I’d gotten over it, but still, it would have been nice to have something like this.

Seb’s dad asked me how I met his son, and I choked on my water, not wanting to discuss the fact that I’d seen him at a bar, dragged his ass into the bathroom, and fucked him ‘til he couldn’t see straight. Seb just laughed and said we were in the same place at the same time.
