Victor thought he would be the first to arrive. He was wrong.

Christian was seated at the bar counter downstairs, availing himself of a drink while waiting for their reserved table to be available. He was wearing his leather jacket again, which Victor refused to notice hugged his shoulders in a way that demanded attention. Jeans, boots, and what must have been a plain v-neck t-shirt completed his look. Victor only knew about the shirt because he could see it in the mirror mounted behind the bar.

Which meant that Christian knew he was there. They hadn’t made eye contact yet, but Victor was certain. Observant of people. He lingered in the room for a moment, wanting to give Christian the right impression. He wanted to be here. Some of that was against his practical nature. But Christian had the potential to mean something, and it was worth giving him the benefit of the doubt.

Plus, Victor thought to himself, although it bothered him to consider it, If Christian is looking into Nathan or Samuel, that means he’s looking into Crispin & Hawke. There is a chance that, if this doesn’t go the way I want, I can still make something of the evening.

Victor shoved that thought into a dark room of his mind and triple locked the door in favor of stepping to Christian’s side while offering him a warm smile. He nodded at the bartender who looked up as he sat on an open stool. “I’ll have what he’s having.”

“Brave fellow. You didn’t even check what’s in the glass,” Christian glanced over his shoulder.

“Consider it apropos for my mood,” Victor replied. “You have been treating me well. I’d like to see that continue, even if we’re a bit more ‘trust but verify’ this evening.”

Christian looked amused, but also concerned. Clearly, whatever he had expected from Victor wasn’t how things were going.

Good. If he’s off guard, he’ll be more honest. ”I never asked you when you moved here. Or are you just visiting?”

The bartender returned with Victor’s drink, which he discovered was cognac after the first sip. It surprised him, and he wondered what had made Christian choose it.

Determined to act as though there wasn’t an air of uncertainty between the two of them, Victor turned more in his chair to see Christian better. Just in time to watch him forcibly relax. It almost looked painful. “Seven months. Semi-permanent relocation, with potential to be permanent.” Each word came easier than the last and Victor seized onto that momentum.

“You were able to find work easily enough?” He sipped his drink again, making full eye contact with Christian.

“Easily enough.” Christian’s eyes narrowed, but Victor spurred the conversation onward.

“And a place to stay? I bought my place a few years ago, so I’m not as familiar with the market these days.”

There was a pause, before Christian answered. “I bounced through some of the long-term hotels when I first arrived. Once I got my feet under me, finding a place to rent was just a matter of patience.
