Chapter Eighteen

MORRIS FINALLY managed to get Felipe out the door after the angry voices ceased upstairs. He desperately wanted to send Theo a text to check on him, but that look in his eyes earlier stopped him. Theo was so calm and easygoing, Morris never expected that fire. He suspected that anything he had to say would not be welcome until Theo calmed down.

And dammit, who the hell was Theo to make him feel like a bad guy anyway? He wasn’t sure what had crawled up Theo’s ass and died, but he’d killed the fine mood Morris had been in after the success of the get-together and a good night of hanging out and having fun.

Morris straightened up his apartment, tossing leftover bottles and paper plates, sticking glasses in the sink, and returning the table to the kitchen as he tried to figure out what had gone so wrong. They were having a great time. Once Lincoln had lost his shyness, he’d slipped right into being a part of the group. The food had turned out awesome. And then boom. A fired-up, pissed-off Theo came in like a bomb.

He hadn’t given any of them a chance to explain or apologize. Though Morris still didn’t know really what he had to apologize for.

Morris heard the sound of a car pulling into the driveway and went to the door. If that was Felipe again, he was going to lose his temper. Enough was enough, go home already, nosy bastard. He always had to be in the middle of things.

Morris stepped outside and saw an unfamiliar car as Lincoln hurried toward it with a bag thrown over his shoulder. He took another step closer, reaching for his cell phone with a sense of alarm. He hoped to hell Lincoln wasn’t trying to sneak out. Unlike Felipe, Morris did not want to be in the middle of this, but he couldn’t in good conscience look the other way either. “Everything okay, Linc?” he called softly.

Lincoln whirled around, clutching his bag to his chest. “Yeah, thanks. I’m going to my sister’s.” He hurried around to the other side of the car as the driver rolled his window down. A white man, about Theo’s age, stuck his head out. He looked tired, and his mouth was set in an uncompromising line. Morris’s heart sank. Wow, Theo and Lincoln had really gotten into it if Lincoln was skipping town in the middle of the night.

“Hey, you Morris?” the man asked.

“Yeah.” A part of his brain said don’t get involved, but dammit, he liked Lincoln, and he really liked Theo, as much as he did not want to admit that right now. There was something going on that went beyond a spat between brothers. He took a step closer to the car as the man smiled faintly.

“It’s okay. Theo knows he’s with me. I’ll bring him back tomorrow.” The man reached through the window, his hand outstretched for a handshake. “I’m Craig Zantzinger, Jill’s husband.”

“Morris Proctor.” Morris clasped his hand.
