Chapter Six

SPENCER LET out a yawn and stretched. A stupid smile crept onto his face. Next to him on the couch, Quinn was fast asleep. He’d taken his meds a few hours ago and fallen asleep during their Lord of the Rings marathon. Spencer had held his hand out to Quinn and demanded his handcuffs, telling him he should be arrested for the crime of never having seen any of the movies. And then Quinn informed him they mainly used zip ties to apprehend subjects. Spencer discovered there were a lot of great movies Quinn hadn’t seen because his schedule hadn’t left much room for them. It became Spencer’s mission to rectify that, starting with Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit.

For days now they’d fallen into a pleasant routine. They’d have breakfast in their own apartments and go about their days. Spencer would work until lunch. Then he’d make something for the both of them and pop over to Quinn’s. They’d eat together and talk. Spencer would help Quinn around the apartment with cleaning and laundry, insisting several times that he didn’t mind, that he had to take his own laundry downstairs, so he could easily take Quinn’s. After lunch, Spencer would go back to his own apartment to get some more work done while Quinn rested. Then he’d be back with dinner, and they’d stay up together talking and watching TV until Quinn couldn’t stay awake anymore. A couple of days a week, Spencer would take the afternoon off and have lunch with Quinn, especially if Spencer planned on having one of his movie marathons, like today. It was almost time for dinner.

The credits to Return of the King were scrolling up the TV screen when there was a light knock on the door and a woman’s voice calling Quinn’s name. Quinn bolted upright so quick, he scared the hell out of Spencer.

Spencer put a hand to his chest, his heart pounding furiously. “Jesus, Quinn. You scared the shit out of me.”

“Oh no.” Quinn stared at the door.

“What is it?”

“Oh God.”

“What?”

Quinn let his head fall back with a groan. “It’s my parents.”

He took hold of his crutch and pushed himself to his feet, mumbling something in Spanish. With a chuckle Spencer stood up and smoothed down his shirt as Quinn answered the door. He stepped to one side as a tiny woman in full makeup with a short gray bob, flowered blouse, white jeans, and heeled sandals swept into the room like a queen making a grand entrance. Behind her, a silver-haired man entered with far less pageantry. He was dressed casually in cargo pants and a gray polo shirt. In his hands were several large aluminum food trays with smaller trays stacked on top. Spencer held back a laugh at the way Quinn had to bend over so his mother could kiss his cheek.

“Mijito, I made you dinner because I know if not, you don’t eat.”

Spencer stared at the numerous trays. That was dinner? Damn, there had to be at least a week’s worth of food there.
