Chapter 59

You and Amber should come!!!Ollie sent, along with a photo of himself in striped hose and a doublet, doing some kind of contortion with his butt in the air. You know you want some of this.

Rafi snorted and sent back, How can I resist

When he texted Julian about it, he was surprised to get, not a return text, but a FaceTime call.

“I’m babysitting,” Julian said as soon as Rafi put him on the screen. “Poor child gets jealous if I’m on the phone too much. There, Chris, now you can participate in the conversation too.”

“Stick it in your eye, Julie,” said Christian, staring deep into his own phone.

Julian pulled Christian’s chair closer so that they were both in-frame. “What were you saying, Rafi, about your friend’s concert?”

“Well, not exactly a concert,” Rafi said. “Sort of a comedy show, at the Renaissance Faire.”

“Seriously?” Christian looked up, glaring at Rafi as if he’d suggested attending a baby-roasting.
