Zam sat across from Jack at Lenny’s. Their exchange of greetings hadn’t been as awkward as Zam had feared it might be. It all became a little easier with the waitress bringing them steaming mugs of coffee. Zam wrapped his hands around the cup, remembering the things Dominic had done to him with his tongue.

They exchanged small talk until their hefty breakfasts arrived. Zam had ordered his favourite eggs—sunny side up—bacon, potatoes and a side of tomatoes in lieu of toast or a bagel.

“I could never give up the opportunity for a bagel,” Jack said as soon as their food arrived. He had ordered an omelette. Both dishes were massive.

“So,” Jack said, his tone casual as Zam took his first bite, “you and Dominic, huh?”

Zam blushed. “He’s a great guy,” he said. Jack didn’t seem to know how to respond to that. Zam changed the subject. “How’s your bagel?”

That began a very entertaining discourse on the best bagels in town.

“You know, if you and Dominic are free some weekend, you should come to my boyfriend’s bakery in Huntington Beach,” Jack said.

Zam had wondered whether the studio executive was gay and now he knew. Plus he had an invitation…with Dominic. He smiled, thanking the man.

“I love Huntington Beach. Where is his bakery?”

“In Bel Air…downtown.”

“I know it well. I have an aunt who lives in the Seacliff section.”

Jack’s face lit up. “Toby and I love that area. That’s our dream, to buy a place in one of the new gated communities there.”

Zam nodded. “She’s a Realtor there. She snapped up a gorgeous house right on the canals. My dad is a Realtor in Hollywood.”

“Hey, you’ve got LA sewn up… Didn’t Lucy mention you still sell real estate?”

I bet she did, the bitch. I can’t believe she would out me as having a day job. So uncool.

“Not as much as I used to. I do it more to hang out with my father.”

Actually, I do it to pay my bills.

“That’s awesome. I could never work with my father.”

“Why? Because of what he does or—?”

Jack cut him off. “Because I hate him. I should talk to your aunt about helping me find a place down at the beach. I don’t think my man is ready to move in yet, but I’m ready to move down there.”

“Sure, I’ll give you her number.” Zam sipped his coffee. He felt better than he had in ages. Then Jack dropped a small neutron bomb over the proceedings.

“So, I’ve been thinking. I love everything about Angel Inn. It’s fantastic…except I wonder if you’d be open to one small change?”

Zam waited and Jack said, “I think Estelle Adair is a talented lady and all that, but she’s kinda old…and I’m thinking it should be a hot guy who inherits the place.”

As bombs went, it was a beaut, but Zam felt strangely in control.

“I’ve been thinking about that, too, but I have another idea. I think we should keep Estelle. She will kill me if I don’t…you see, she’s my father’s girlfriend.
