Chapter Fourteen

Peter waited on the terrace of La Chaudiere, his sparkling water fizzing in its glass as he slowly buttered a warm roll.

A glance at his watch confirmed that Harry was late, but Peter knew something must have waylaid him, and the man would be along eventually. Still, he was quite hungry and so he was being rude and beginning without his friend.

Sammy had put together a basket to take over to Jason, while he had phoned Harry and asked to have lunch. They each reached out to their friends in different ways.

Oh, the bun was better than he'd been expecting, and he actually closed his eyes to enjoy the flavors in his mouth better.

Harry's chuckle made him grin. "Good roll, man?"

He opened his eyes, surprised to see Harry in civilian clothes, hair wet. "Sorry I'm late; I had to work an accident and got my uniform trashed. Went home and showered. Jase and Sammy are curled up on the sofa, both sound asleep."

"Oh, I'm so glad. Samuel's been absolutely miserable."

Samuel and Jason had been ... well, lovers was too strong a word, and fuck-buddies was far too crude for what Jason and Samuel had shared. Friends with privileges perhaps worked best. It didn't bother him, though; he knew the moment Harry had come along, Jason only had eyes for the big cop.

But Samuel and Jason still needed each other. "And, yes, the roll is quite delicious. Maybe the best roll I've ever had. Or maybe I'm just very hungry."

"I'm starving. Thanks for the invite, man."

"Well, I wanted to talk to you, and I figured you'd accept lunch as an olive branch?" Harry was his oldest friend. His best friend. While the two of them would never be found curled up anywhere together, Harry was as important to him as Jason was to Samuel.

"Yeah." Harry stole a bit of roll, settled in. "I didn't break the wall, did I?"

He chuckled and shook his head. "It's just fine, Harry. I'd like to be able to say the same thing about us. I'm sorry I kept prying. It was done with the best of intentions."

"I know, man." Harry nodded, met his eyes. "It's all good, huh? Me and Jase, we'll figure shit out."

"I know you will. I just hate to think of either of you hurting, and you know I find it hard to take a back seat when I think I can help." Taking the back seat just wasn't in his nature.

"Yeah, well, you have that whole bossy asshole thing going on." Harry winked, ordered a glass of iced tea. "We're heading to the coast for few days, just to chill out before all that shit happens."

"The bossy asshole thing works wonders for me." He asked for another coffee and ordered the eggs benedict. He waited until the waiter had moved on before continuing. "That sounds nice, Harry. You two can have some quality time—get yourself back together."

"I just want to sleep and eat enough seafood to make me explode.
