Kapitel 3: Chapter 3

“What about you? Did you bring a boyfriend home with you, Scott?” Preston asked, breaking the heavy silence.

“Nah. I had one about a year ago. We broke up because of jealousy issues.” Scotty decided it was a good time to ask. “You meet anyone new?”

Preston shook his head. “No. I’m enjoying the single life for the moment.”

“Hmm.” Scotty glanced out the window at the street. In a perfect world with both of them single they’d be free to explore the possibility of a relationship. Only the world wasn’t anywhere near perfect. “Why don’t you tell me about Mrs. Windham’s grandson?”2

Preston glanced at his watch.

Nine thirty.

Not a peep came from Scott’s office. Was he even in yet? He hadn’t seen Scott since they’d gone to breakfast the morning before. Preston had been in the office for more than an hour, had seen Jack come in forty-five minutes ago, but he hadn’t seen or heard Scott.
