Love Stinks, Inc., An Uncollected Anthology Story (2014) - Plot & Excerpts
“Tell me about your parents,” she said. “Ma’am?” “Are they still married?” That assumed Stewart’s parents had been married in the first place, which was a pretty big assumption where mortals were concerned. Or gods, for that matter. Stewart stood in front of her desk clutching his notepad like it might run away, which was probably what he wanted to do. A light sheen of sweat covered his forehead, and he shifted his weight from one foot to the next and back again. She was aware she was being wildly inappropriate. She’d never had a conversation with poor Stewart that was more personal than what brand of coffee he preferred. Neither, as it turned out. He had a caffeine intolerance, and limited himself to herbal teas. Dyte knew she could be a temperamental boss at the best of times. When she’d started Love Stinks, she’d hired Stewart away from Eros International with the promise that she would never fire him unless he did something truly egregious, like divulge company secrets to her dad.
