Chapter 3

Brandon and Cam had only been dating for a few months at that point, and Cam had seriously considered telling Brandon to go to hell and forget his number. He had held his tongue, however, and they’d stuck it out. Cam had deferred his master’s program for a year, then ended up declining it. He could always reapply later, when money wasn’t so tight.

Needless to say, Brandon wasn’t a fan of Mattie, and Cam was certain the feeling was mutual. Mattie had been respectful of Cam’s choices, and he was always friendly whenever they ran into each other, but there was no way their brief meetings would ever evolve into anything deeper while Brandon was around.

Not that Cam was looking for something deeper. But it would have been nice to have Mattie in his life again as a real friend, rather than a casual acquaintance.
