Carol of the Bellskis

47

“I can't believe you just did that,” Seth whispered.

“I'm learning,” Lars whispered back.

Seth reached up and cupped the back of Lars's neck. He pulled him in for another kiss, when suddenly Lars went rigid and jerked away from Seth.

“What?” Seth asked.

Lars walked backward, slipping into a clothing aisle.

Seth followed him. “Lars, what's wrong?”

“Shh!” Lars grabbed Seth and pulled him close, dragging him into the coats.

Seth stared out. “What are we doing?”

And then he saw him. Tall man, bald, with an impressive round gut and a long, expensive coat. A woman half his age clasped his arm. Seth recognized that sharp face at once. It was Glenn Bowen, one of Finch and Varga's wealthiest clients, a man Lars had just successfully negotiated a settlement for in the tens of millions.

Seth glanced to Lars, stock-still beside him. Lars had gone pale and watched Bowen's movements like a hidden rabbit eyeing an approaching mountain lion.

“Come on,” Seth said, grabbing Lars's hand to lead him the other way.

Lars dropped Seth's hand as if it burned.

“Fuck you,” Seth said angrily, not caring if his voice carried. He pushed his way out of the coats and left the store. His heart beat furiously. He was such a fucking idiot.

He started walking home. It was a long distance, and he hoped that Lars got lost.

No such luck.

He heard Lars behind him, running to catch up. “Wait! Seth!” As soon as Lars caught up, Seth shoved him in the chest.

Lars's eyes flashed dangerously.

Seth squared his shoulders, almost daring Lars to hit him. But Lars's expression crumpled in confusion.

“What's wrong with you?” Lars touched Seth's arm.
