Chapter 5

“That was somewhat worse than a mere stinky cab.” Matthew’s jaw looked tight as he bit out the words.

“Sorry. I…damn.” Gavin sighed. There wasn’t anything he could say to fix it. What could he do, repeat that he’d had a “weird feeling” over and over? That wasn’t going to make up for their ruined mood. Especially since it had been all for naught. They were past the dark alleyway, and nothing had happened. He’d put them through that ordeal for nothing. “I made note of the cab’s ID number. We’ll report him, because that was bullshit.”

Matthew matched Gavin’s sigh with one of his own. “Don’t worry about it. Yeah, I want to report him, but it’s cool. I’ll be fine.”

The next intersection was well-lit. Gavin turned to Matthew. “I love you, and I’m not going to let that jerk spoil our happy night.”

“You’re right.” Matthew nodded decisively. “He’s not worth it. We won’t let him win.”
