Chapter 20

Trevor liked Cindy; he thought she was good for Paul.

“You ready to go home

yet?”

“But the appointment isn’t

until this evening, I could stay—”

“It’s all arranged.” Paul

stood up. “You’re hardly going to be able to concentrate on work,

are you?”

Trevor didn’t

respond.

“And before you even say

it, no you’re not going home on the bus by yourself. I’m taking you

home and staying with you.”

“Thanks.”

He had to be strong,

because there was no one he could lean on, he had to do it all

himself. He wasn’t comfortable about leaning on Paul. The guy was

kind, considerate, not to mention drop dead gorgeous. Trevor could,

if he allowed himself, fall very heavily for Paul. Shaking his head

he got to his feet. “All right, I’ll go quietly.”

“Good, because I didn’t

fancy having to throw you over my shoulder and carry you out of the

building.”

“Damn, I should have held

out. I could have had all my caveman fantasies

fulfilled.”
