Chapter 26

“A lot of nightlife, too. That explains why you like working days.”

“It helps, but I’m not a party animal, if that’s what you’re thinking. I just like to go out and relax with my friends.”

“Well. Yeah.” Where was this going?

“Are you gay or bisexual?”

“I don’t think so.” And how could he? Alec certainly never told him.

“But you’re out.”

“Yeah.”

Rowan sighed. “I owe you an apology. And an explanation. The only problem is, I don’t know how to say it without sounding like a douche.”
