“Oh, for God’s sake, will you just leave me alone?”

Will exploded. Startled gasps greeted his words. He was past caring. “I’m going to say this once, loud and clear so you get the message. I. Am. Not. Interested.” He gritted out the words, watching as Karen’s mouth fell open and her hand flew to her ample chest. “And what’s more, I willnever be interested. For fuck’s sake, woman, I’m gay!”

The silence that followed his declaration was so thick, it was almost tangible. Karen’s face was white. She swallowed hard. She flinched as if his words were a physical blow, and then she backed away. The team stood there with equally stunned expressions. A sharp intake of breath had Will turning toward the door. Blake stood there, eyes impossibly wide. Oh fuck. Will held his breath as he waited for Blake to say something, but his heart sank as his boss turned on his heel and walked away.

That was it. Will couldn’t take any more. Before anyone could say anything, he put down his mug and fled the room, running to the men’s bathroom and locking himself in a stall. He sat on the toilet lid and put his head in his hands. What the fuck had he just done? He stiffened as he heard the bathroom door open and close, listening as feet approached his stall.

“Will? You in there?” It was Rick. Oh hell. Will didn’t want to talk to him. To anyone. “C’mon, mate, talk to me.” There was an edge to his voice, a note of something that sounded like desperation. Intrigued in spite of himself, Will leaned forward and slid the bolt across, slowly pulling open the door. Rick stood there, eyes miserable, looking decidedly jumpy. A look of relief crossed his face when he saw Will. “Oh mate.” His voice was unsteady. “When you come out… youcome out!”

Will couldn’t help it. He gave a feeble smile. Rick chuckled.

“You gonna come out here or shall I come in there?” Rick winked. “Wouldn’t be the first time I’ve been in a toilet stall with a guy—if you follow my drift.” He locked eyes with Will.

Will barked out a harsh laugh. “I bloody knew it!” Rick laughed. “Yeah, okay, so I’ve been thinking the same about you for a while now.” Will got up and exited the stall. Rick leaned against the wall as Will ran his hands under the hot tap. All of a sudden they were so cold. “You all right, Will?” The look of genuine concern was touching.

Will expelled his tension in one long push of air as he dried his hands. “Yeah.” He’d calmed down a little. Rick was watching him intently. “So… do they know about you?” He flicked his head toward the door.

“Uh-huh. So I’m probably the only person here who was relieved to hear your, er,declaration.” His eyes sparkled with humor. “Have you anyideawhat’s it’s been like around here, being the only gay in the village?” They both chuckled at this reference to the comedyLittle Britain.
