Chapter 174

Dean ran his fingers through Jay’s now much-shorter hair loving it no less. Loving Jay no less.

“I’ll sort things out…soon,” Dean promised. Jay nodded in answer. “Real soon.”

No doubt about it. He had to.11

“In our last session you claimed selfishness, but you were out of here the moment you heard Jay was in trouble.”

“Don’t tell me that’s admirable. I consider it normal.”

Candice was nodding, a small, enigmatic expression on her face. “Should I ask?”

Dean wasn’t prepared to discuss Jay without Jay’s knowledge. “Family issues. Particularly upsetting ones.”

She stared for several seconds before saying, “We’ll move right along then. Do you want to hear of the textbook cases of women who discover their boyfriends are bisexual?”

Not really. Fortunately, he knew better than to say so aloud. He gave a noncommittal shrug.

“What’s that? A yes or a no?”

He should have known Candice would force a response out of him. “I don’t see it’s relevant. It’s not as if I have a girlfriend.”
