章 15: Chapter 15

“Oh. I think my gaydar might need a bit of adjustment. I didn’t suspect…at all.” Jeremy couldn’t help a small laugh. “Maybe that’s why I haven’t been on a date in months.”

There was no denying the new gleam in Brendan’s eyes when he looked up. “Really? Because this kind of felt like a date to me. Even though I wasn’t sure if my instincts were on the fritz, too.”

“A date? You think this is a date? I…” Jeremy fell silent as he rewound the conversation in his mind and played it back. “Oh. This is like a date. I hadn’t really planned to make it one…do you mind?”

Brendan’s brows shot up. “Are you kidding? Unless that’s going to make it too weird with me staying here. In which case, I’d rather find someplace else to stay.”

That was the last thing Jeremy wanted. He shook his head, surprisingly casual. “Doesn’t make it weird for me. I mean, it kind of makes it convenient, doesn’t it? No awkward conversations later about your place or mine.”
