Mending a Family: Maggie, Vic, & Rob

“…can’t believe both Rob and Alex are gay.” “Rob is NOT gay! It’s that man, he’s done something to him.” Maggie couldn’t take it anymore. She sat up and peered at the woman a few seats down from where she and Maxwell were having lunch, to find her sitting with another lady. “Maggie, don’t.” Maggie waved a dismissive hand. “Oh, …

The Seven Year Itch: Andrew & Gareth

  The Seven Year Itch “That’s the last one.” Gareth placed the cardboard box in the living room along with all the others, then flopped onto the couch.

The Road Trip

    “I’m bored.” Maxwell turned and leveled a hard stare at Maggie. “What do you mean?

The Loss with Rob Daniels and Vic Prentiss

Aaron and Sam sat at the bar, talking with Eli as he cleaned the bar top with a damp rag. Secrets was packed, as it usually was.

Vic sat at his desk, talking with the heads of three other departments. His boss, Ms. Worthington, had gone on maternity leave to have her first baby, but vowed she’d be back.
