He laughed at her second, unprompted text. Easier said than done, though.

Gavin, go back to sleep. Enjoy a morning with no baking. I promise I’ll take care of your baby.

There was no chance he’d be able to go back to sleep, but he had to admit, he didn’t exactly miss doing the 4 a.m. baking. Baking on a commercial scale was a necessary chore, but it wasn’t at all like the type of baking he’d originally fallen in love with.

Thanks, Luce.

He tucked his phone into his back pocket after he’d sent the reply, then levered himself to his feet and hopped over to his crutches. Tucking them under his arms with a quiet groan, he headed for Ben’s kitchen. The man had been true to his word, bringing home everything on the grocery list Gavin had given him without any complaint… even though he’d also admitted that he didn’t have a clue what to do with the majority of it.

“Now you’ll have to stick around,” Ben had told him with a sexy wink, referring to Gavin’s ongoing concern about overstaying his welcome. “At least until you manage to teach me what to do with all of this.”

But of course, that had been before the awkwardness of the night before. An awkwardness that Gavin sincerely hoped didn’t spell the end of their comfortable relationship.

Friendship, he meant, since that’s all it was.

Gavin sighed. He’d just have to wait and see how things played out between the two of them this morning to find out. For all he knew, Ben may well have spent the entire night having a straight-guy freak out about the fact that another man was attracted to him. Which, admittedly, seemed out of character for the other man, but the whole thing had definitely thrown Ben for a loop the night before. After the easy joking that the two of them generally fell into, Gavin had to admit that Ben’s reaction had surprised him a little.

He’d expected something different. Even disregarding the part of him that had wanted to hope for the unlikely—that Ben would have suddenly seen Gavin in a whole new light, would have decided that he wanted him, would have—

Gavin shook his head, chuffing out a breath as he flipped the lights on in the kitchen. He needed to stop letting his mind go there. But really, even disregarding that vain hope, he would have thought easy-going Ben would have been a little more relaxed about the whole thing. The man didn’t strike him as even remotely homophobic. Had it really been that off-putting to find out that the way he’d been touching Gavin had turned him on?

Okay.

Time to shut that down.

He was just going to have to wait and see how Ben acted toward him when he woke up. In the meantime, Gavin would bake.

His earliest memories involved shaping soft dough with his mother in the kitchen. He’d been ten when she’d lost her battle with cancer, and his memories of her outside the kitchen were hazy.
