Essence of Time
“His new sous chef job had begun with a four-week lesson in back-of-the-house food prep. He’d been up at three a.m. every god damned morning for a month, chopping peppers, onions, shredding cheese and pounding bread dough. It sucked. The chef was an utter asshole, determined to make him feel about three feet tall each and every day, a task he took pretty damn seriously.
Rob had arrived in Chicago in the white-hot heat of an Indian summer, leaving behind Detroit and a man he loved, knowing it... had to be that way. After he’d dropped his little cancer bomb, the guy had barely had two words to say to him. They’d parted in awkward silence. Since then they’d been together some. Kyle had driven out twice, they called, texted. But it was wrong. Rob knew it. They had sex, but the connection was broken. He broke it—and it killed him. The conversation he’d had with the man the previous night just confirmed it for him.
