Chapter Six

After a quick trip home at lunch to let Stan out, Isaac returned to the clinic and managed to get through the remainder of his day, but his thoughts never traveled far from Len. He hadn’t seen the surprise visit coming. If he had, then it wouldn’t have been a shock, but still. Len was Dr. Gates’ patient and could be at the practice. Still, he wondered what had changed Len’s mind. Did the reason really matter? No.

He drove home at ten minutes to eight. As soon as Isaac walked through the door to his condo, Stan darted across the living room. Ollie licked his paws on the back of the sofa.

“Hiya, guy. I wasn’t gone that long, but I’m sorry I left you cooped up for the last couple hours.” He scooped up Stan and carried him through the living room to the kitchen. “We’ve got a date tonight. You’re going to visit with Cissy, and I’m going to see Len.” He placed Stan on the floor, then opened cans of dog and cat food for the pets. Ollie left the couch, strolled across the counter and sat beside his dish.

Isaac filled both bowls. “Sorry, Ollie. I’ll feed you first.” He scooted the bowl over, then put Stan’s on the floor. “Did he bother you too much today?” Like the cat would answer him. Instead, Ollie glared at him with his yellow cat stare, then resumed eating.

Isaac shrugged. He left the kitchen and made the rounds of his condo, looking for accidents. “You’ve had a good day, Stan. No messes.”

He strolled into the bedroom and stripped out of his button-down shirt. The disinfectant scent from the office seemed to cling to his skin. He loved his job and helping people, but sometimes he wished he didn’t have to smell like chemicals. The bone-deep weariness from being at work hit him hard. He finished removing his clothes and stood naked in the middle of the bathroom. When he glanced over his shoulder, Stan sat in the doorway, watching him.

“I know, I know,” he mumbled. “I need to run some more.” Isaac rolled his shoulders. He hadn’t thought about his looks much, other than that he’d hoped to be good enough for Len. Now he didn’t want to see himself in the mirror. The lines around his eyes would be deeper, he’d have forehead crinkles, and he probably could use a shave. Oh well.

He stepped into the shower stall and turned on the water. The icy spray hit him, jolting him out of his half-sleepy state. “Damn.” He opened his eyes wide and waited for the water to heat up. He’d needed that cold rush from the showerhead.

Water sluiced down him. He lathered a washcloth, then scrubbed his body. His thoughts turned to Len. He wondered what Len looked like naked. Probably chiseled and sexy, although Isaac wouldn’t know. He hadn’t peeked while Len was at the hospital. Plus, it hadn’t been a good time, being that Len was with someone and he was a patient.
