Chapter 20

“Sweat, Mick. Lots of sweat will do it, too.”

Richard pulled out, sat up, and removed the condoms, knotting them together. “Shower time, and then sleep. I suspect we’ve got a long day ahead of us tomorrow.”

Since Mick agreed, he followed Richard into the bathroom, joining him in the shower. They did nothing more than wash and then dry each other, with a few chaste kisses in the process. When they returned to bed, they spooned together as Mick remembered they always had, and fell asleep.5

“What do you plan on saying to Trenton?” Richard asked as he, Mick, and Shorty were eating breakfast Sunday morning. “And to Andy, as far as that goes?”

“I wish I knew,” Mick replied. “It has to be Andy first, I think. It would be better if it happened before he goes into work.”

“Waylay him at home,” Shorty suggested.

“I don’t know where he lives. You know that.”
