Cameron has built a good life for himself despite his rough start. He can’t trust enough for romance, but he’s okay with that. He’s got good money coming in as a graphic designer and just inherited a duplex in Plymouth from his estranged grandfather, so he doesn’t have to worry about keeping a roof over his head. He likes his tenants, he has friends, and he’s content with that.<br><br>When two guys claiming to be paranormal investigators show up on his doorstep tell him the tenants contacted them about “phenomena” in the house, he knows they’re con men right away. For one thing, they claim he was the tenant. He sends them packing. It doesn’t matter that one of the con artists is the hottest guy Cameron has seen in years -- if anything, that just makes Cameron more suspicious.<br><br>Then things go wrong in the house, things he can’t shrug off or ignore. The past Cameron has worked so hard to leave behind is coming for him, and it’s angry.

Rites of Spring

“Well usually if your plumbing is talking to you it’s because you’ve been on an epic bender and you’ve gotten to know the plumbing really well,” Jason told him with a smirk. “But seeing as how your neighbors are a nice Muslim family and mostly underage, and you don’t so much as keep a bottle of beer in the house, I’m going to have to go with problem, yeah.”


Cameron flipped him off and got up to go check the plumbing next door. “This is something we haven’t seen on our side of the house yet,” he told Ali, “so I’m glad you said something to me. I’m going to head over and take a quick look, if that’s okay. Do you mind if I bring Reid? Your mom won’t shoot him?”


Ali grinned at that, and shook his head. “Please fix the pipes; it’s gotten so bad that my brother and sister and I don’t want to use the bathrooms or the kitchen!”


Cameron grabbed his plumbing tools from their resting spot by the back door and led Reid next door.
