Mid-afternoon restlessness motivated him to get out of the apartment Friday. He ran a few errands and stopped by the local bookstore to pick up a new thriller to read, but he was at loose ends for the rest of the day. He knew Christian was working. He’d enjoyed their impromptu Thanksgiving celebration the day before; he liked Christian’s sense of humor and his enthusiasm. He still thought his physical reaction to Christian was a fluke, but the more he forced himself to face the fact that there had been a definite reaction, the more he wondered how much of a fluke it was. Matt entered The Coffee Hut and was disappointed to see Christian nowhere in sight. He placed his order with one of Christian’s very perky coworkers, who promptly disappeared into the back as Matt waited for the other barista to make his drink. Christian came out of the back a moment later and smiled at Matt. “Hey. How’s your day off?” Matt was surprised at how pleased he was to see Christian. “Not bad; how’s your day working?”
