Twenty minutes later, Brantley joined Reese in the kitchen.

Not sure what he was expecting, Reese waited for the weirdness to encompass the room, to chase out the laid-back chill he’d had going on since he came in here to make breakfast, but it didn’t. In fact, it felt like any of the other times they’d shared a meal. Granted, there was still the underlying desire to kiss Brantley again, to feel his lips, to taste the mint of his toothpaste.

He refrained, offering a smile as he passed over a plate with toast, egg whites, and six pieces of bacon.

“You’re servin’ me too?” Brantley asked with a smirk, his gaze sweeping over the plate. “Careful now. I could get used to this.” When he looked up, he was still smiling. “Well, except for the egg whites. Not sure why you gotta go and ruin a perfectly good egg.”

“Healthier.”

“So I hear.”

“Don’t worry, next meal’s on you and I’m expecting steak.”

Realizing how that sounded, Reese ducked his head, chuckled.

Brantley took a seat, grabbed his phone, and glanced at the screen as he picked up his fork.

“Anything from Travis?”

“No.” Brantley lifted his head, met Reese’s gaze. “You?”

“No. I shot him a text to check in but haven’t heard back yet.”

“Anything from your brother?”

Reese shook his head, bit off a corner of his toast, chewed.

They ate in silence for a minute or two before Brantley asked, “What time do you have to be at work?”

“Nine,” he said, glancing at the clock. “I doubt anyone else is there, but I’ll check in, make sure nothing pressing needs my attention. Then I figured I’d head over to Travis’s. See how I can help out.”

Brantley opened his mouth to say something, but his phone chimed, snagging his attention.

“It’s JJ,” he said, staring at the phone, his shoulders squaring as he sat up straight. “She’s got somethin’ on that blonde.”

Feeling a sense of hope, Reese chased his toast with coffee, wiped his mouth. “She say what?”

“She’s on her way here now.”

Reese nodded, took a few more bites of his eggs, then more coffee. A minute later, he’d cleared his plate.

“I better head home. Shower. You’ll call me when you know somethin’?”

“Yep,” Brantley said around a mouthful of bacon.

And that was how Reese kicked off the first day of what he figured was going to be an altered reality.

Interesting that he wasn’t put off in the least.
