Snowed In: Zack and Richard

“You two are cute together.” Kelly smiles, leaning down to let Biscuit, who seems to, as always, love the attention.


“My girl, Anne, will kill me if I don’t arrange a meal or some kind of hang out with the both of you.

Doesn’t seem like Rick is that type of straight guy, at all.


“Ah, we could come to the city?” Zack says, uncertain, looking up at Richard. He doesn’t want to speak for him.


“Why not both? I know some great places here in the country, but I have no issue going to the city and saving you a drive.” Richard nods.
