The club was full, but it wasn’t quite the scene Mason was used to in San Antonio. There was a good amount of variety, in terms of age and backgrounds. It was crowded, but not bursting to the seams with people. Mason didn’t recognize the music playing, but as the song changed, he realized the DJ was catering toward the eclectic clientele. The décor was stylish, but inviting, and it was obvious that some of the people were as blue-collar as Anton. Mason could understand why Anton might feel comfortable there.


His pulse leapt when Anton entwined their fingers together in order to lead them to one corner of the bar. After he’d ordered two beers, he perched on a stool and looked out over the half-full dance floor, never letting go of Mason’s hand.


“I have a confession to make,” he said. “I’ve never actually danced at this particular club. I just come in and watch.”
