Brandon hadn’t been out then. How could he? The school tormentors had enough reason to pick on him without adding that to it. But Tim seemed to have it made. No one picked on him. He was gorgeous and popular, and Brandon had been in love.
“Maybe I can call in sick for that weekend,” he said with a heavy sigh.3
“You better have breakfast with you,” Brandon said when he opened the door to Veronica two weeks before the reunion.
She held up a paper bag. “Chocolate-filled croissants.”
He snagged it. “Okay. And the stuff to do my highlights?”
Veronica rolled her eyes and held up her beauty supply pouch.
Brandon nodded. “You can come in.” He held the door wide for her. She’d gone to beauty school the year before last, and though mostly he went to the salon at the resort, sometimes Veronica did touch-ups for him.
