All Kinds of Tied Down
“I opened the front door before the why filtered through my brain.
“Hey.” Everything hurt, and having Brent Ivers on my front porch was not helping. My ex had left me six months ago for a job and a new life in Miami. At the best of times, the sex had been fun and we laughed often even though, at his request, it had never been exclusive. At the worst of times, at the end, showing up at his place and finding other men there when we were supposed to be having dinner or going to visit his family had... been painful. When he left, it had never crossed his mind to ask me to go, to transfer, and it never occurred to me to say anything but good-bye. Chicago was the first place I’d ever felt safe, the only place where nothing bad had ever happened, and my work and my partner were there. I wasn’t going anywhere.
“It’s freezing out here, babe. Can I come in?” Brent asked, bringing my attention back to him.
I squinted. “What are you doing here?” “I missed you.” “Bullshit,” I said, calling him on his crap.MoreLess
