For more than a year, Reggie Mitchell has been sitting at the end of the bar in the Sunset Club waiting for Mark Randall to see him as something other than a customer.

Then Mark gets in trouble helping Reggie's friend Bobby.<br><br>Now a violent ex-lover is threatening Mark. Reggie offers Mark the safe haven of his basement apartment. Can Reggie convince Mark that his safe haven is his arms instead?

Waiting for Mark

When Mark came in, Greg served coffee. They discussed Reggie’s trust and how Mark felt about it. “I’m surprised you’ve changed your mind about the money.”


“Reggie doesn’t act like a rich asshole. He cares. He helped out Jason and wanted to help me out when he still thought I’d never date him. He’s a stand-up kind of guy. I love him very much.” Mark grabbed Reggie’s hand.


“How is the medication working for you?”


“It’s working well. I’m not as down on myself in the past couple of days as I usually am and I’m a lot less antsy.”


Greg interrupted but Mark held up his hand.


“I know I have a lot more work to do before I can look and see a good person in the mirror, but with Reggie and the guys help, I’m getting there.”


“How do you feel about Reggie’s close friendships?”
