By the time Russell got back to his flat just off Soho Square, he was starting to feel quite hungry. The smells coming from the kitchen as he walked in were amazing.

There was a lot to be said for Joe’s new French boyfriend, Luc, staying over all the time, even if it meant they all had to share just the one bathroom.

Luc was an excellent chef, he had time on his hands while he looked for permanent work, and he was very easy on the eye.

When Russell had asked Joe to move in, it was because he recognised that they both missed their friend Chris, and with Chris gone, Russell needed to let the room out anyway, given his reduced income since leaving the force.

He hadn’t really intended to take on two flatmates for the price of one, but Luc seemed to spend more time here than he ever did in his crappy little hotel near King’s Cross.

Russell walked into the kitchen to find the boys sitting at the table, chatting away as usual, laughing together. He envied them their easy rapport. It was something he’d never been able to achieve.

He was only fifteen years older than either of them but he felt like they’d grown up in a different time. Somehow, it was easier for guys in their twenties these days to come out, and be proud of who they were. Not easy by any stretch of the imagination, but easier than it had been when he was their age. Or perhaps it was just that he’d always just been more uptight and less comfortable in himself than they were. Who knew?

He was truly happy for Joe, but seeing them so at ease together made him wish for something similar himself. Maybe one day.

Having been pushed from his job, Russell was finally able to be a little more open about his sexuality, but he still wondered whether he would ever find himself a partner, or if he was destined to just pick up casual lovers who ran off at the first sign of commitment.

“Evening lads,” he said, interrupting their conversation.

Luc got to his feet and tinkered with a pan at the stove. Russell had tried to make him feel welcome, but he always felt that Luc was embarrassed every time Russell came home to find him here again.

“Something smells good, Luc. We might have to keep you.”

Luc smiled. He really was a beautiful boy. Joe looked at Russell expectantly.

“Well? Where have you been? And, more importantly, what have you found out?” he asked.

“Give me a chance to take my coat off,” Russell laughed. “Is there any wine going?”

Joe poured him a glass while Russell hung his coat in the hallway and flopped down in a chair at the kitchen table.

“I got hold of Violet, by the way,” Joe said, sitting down again opposite him. “She wasn’t particularly charitable about her sister.”

“Did you tell her about Danny?”

“I did. She seemed shocked, but she didn’t pretend to care too much.”

“Nice,” Russell said.
