Dan sat at the kitchen table, just after he’d eaten dinner—macaroni and cheese, easy to fix. He’d thought of going to a restaurant, but it somehow didn’t seem worth the effort. And he might as well eat at home since he had no one to go out with. He’d promised Mathew he’d go to Daddy’s Boys. But he really wasn’t in the mood. It was because of Gerry. Damn it, he had a hard time accepting that the younger man had reverted. Well, maybe it was easier than trying to make it as an artist. And his little security job at the galley probably didn’t even pay the rent.

Damn it. Why did this have to happen? Well, might as well forget about him, Dan thought, as he rose from the table. He gathered up the dishes and took them to the sink. Then he scraped the leftover food into a plastic container and put it in the refrigerator. Big waste of time that, he thought. It would probably sit there till it turned green and fuzzy. That’s what usually happened to leftovers.

He filled the sink with water, squirted in detergent and washed the dishes. Then he rinsed them and put them in the rack to dry. Living alone caused him to relax the rules, okay, to become a little sloppy. When his wife was still alive, they did the dishes together. She washed and he dried. For a split second, he let himself visualize Gerry washing and him drying.

Well, that wasn’t going to happen.

He finished, let the water out of the sink, and poured himself a second cup of coffee. stalling. His mind wondered to Mathew. Why had the hustler had invited him to the bar? Was he truly interested? Unlikely. He probably just interested in another two thousand dollars. Well, maybe I pay him. It might be better than coming home tonight to an empty house.

Dan still wasn’t sure if he wanted to go to Daddy’s Boys when it was time to leave, but he had promised Mathew. Come on, Dan, he told himself, no use moping around just because things did go well with Gerry. It’s not the end of the world!

“All right,” he said out loud, “enough feeling sorry for yourself. No more sitting around and moping.” He laughed at himself as he went outside and climbed into his car.
