Chapter 10

“What does he do? I’d ask what you do, but I know. I’ve been following your career, although I’ll admit I’ve never seen one of the shows you’ve designed.”

“Coming to one would be beneath your dignity, or something, since we’re not a big, prestigious theater?”

“Eileen would have, okay she did make a scene when I suggested it. She’s my soon to be ex, by the way.”

“I sort of figured. Since you asked, Kev’s a waiter.”

“You could do better, Neil,” Zeke replied, smiling at him.

“Like you?”

Zeke nodded. “If it’s what you want. I know I want you back.”

“So you said.”

“Do you feel the same or is Kev more important than me?”

“Good lord, that’s an egotistical statement,” Neil muttered.

“Answer the question.”

“I don’t know, Zeke. I’ll have to think long and hard before I even considerbreaking up with him.” Not that that will happen, since we’re only faking being a couple, but I’m not going to rush into anything with Zeke. Not until I know he’s being halfway honest with me.
