“Don’t worry about it. You had nothing wrong. It’s on the house,” he said looking at me with a forced smile.

I was about to go when I thought of something.

“Actually, there might be one other thing that I’d like to discuss.”

“What’s that?”

“You’re married?”

“Yes.”

“To a man?”

“Yes?” The doctor said worried about where I was going with my question.

“I’m here with my boyfriend.”

“Okay.”

“We might be doing something for the first time later. I’m aware that there are things you can use to make such things a little easier… you know when they slide in.”

Dr. Tom turned, grabbed a small tube out of a cabinet, and handed it to me.

“Thanks,” I told him. “Nero, right?”

The doctor gave me a tight-lipped smile.

“I’ll take that as a yes.”

I left his office and joined the two guys.

“Is everything okay?” Cage asked concerned.

“Oh yeah. Everything’s fine,” I said turning to Titus wondering what he was.

“Should I drop you back at Dr. Sonya’s?” Titus asked vulnerably.

“Yeah. That’s probably best,” I told him to his disappointment.

“Will you be sticking around? Or…?”

“We’ll probably be grabbing something to eat and then heading home,” I told him deciding it might be better to limit what I told him.

Returning to Titus’s truck, he drove us back to the bed and breakfast.

“I’m sorry it ending like this,” Titus said genuinely saddened.

Not being great with social stuff, I didn’t know what he was referring to. So, ignoring it, I was about to get out of the truck when something hit me. “By the way, do you know someone by the name of Nero?”

“Yeah, sure. What about him?”

“Where would we find him if we were looking?”

“I think he does a couple of shifts at the diner.”

“Wait, as a busboy?”

“Yeah. Why?”
