Chapter 48

“Sorry.” Tristan giggled.

Cujo moved and accidentally bumped Tristan’s rear again. “Now, I’m the one sorry.”

Tristan laughed some more. Cujo didn’t think Tristan was actually sorry about their contact. “No need to apologize. It’s tight quarters around here.”

“I don’t want to presume.” Tristan’s voice dropped to a conspiratorial whisper. “I never asked if you had a boyfriend”. Tristan fluttered his eyelashes. “Do you have a boyfriend?”

Cujo smiled. He liked Tristan and how Tristan was flirting with him. He could easily answer that question. He dated and liked women, but he didn’t want to lie. Not to Tristan, who seemed like a sweet guy. Shy, maybe awkward. Maybe only awkward toward him. But now was not the time to tell Tristan he had experimented in college.

“So you never answered me. Have you ever had a boyfriend?” Tristan asked, cocking his head as he spoke.
