My little sprite finishes his lunch long before I do. Though that’s probably because he only had two sandwiches while I made six, plus all the other snacks I loaded onto a separate plate. I finished off the snacks first before tackling the sandwiches. When I shifted back, it was like I hadn’t eaten at all even though I had ten very large fish in my bear form. Cosmo is gazing out at the water with a smile on his face. Since I still have a few sandwiches to eat, I’m going to use this opportunity to ask some basic ‘getting to know you’ questions.

I’m sure these sorts of questions could easily come after we claim each other but, it’s a nice way to pass the time and besides, I’m curious about the man I’m to spend the rest of my life with. I don’t know much about him at all other than what I’ve seen over the years living next to him and what I’ve learned since I responded to the call at his salon.

Looking over at Cosmo, I ask, “Will you tell me a bit about you?”

Cosmo smiles at me. “Of course. What would you like to know?”

“Everything but, I’ll settle for the basics.”

With a melodic laugh, he says, “Good, because I’m not sure I could cover everything in a single day but, I would’ve given it my best shot.”

Chuckling, I say, “We have the rest of our lives to cover everything.”

Since we arrived at the lake, I’ve found it easy to laugh and smile. Cosmo makes it hard to fight my emotions because his happiness is so infectious, and I want to share in his joy. I’m not saying it’ll be easy for me to show my feelings in public but, doing it in Cosmo’s presence is progress so, I’m counting that as a win.

Cosmo takes my hand and links our fingers together. “So, where should I start?”

Lifting our linked hands, I kiss the back of his and say, “Wherever you like.”

“Well, my full name is Cosmo Amadeus Mayweather. I was born here in Coral Key but moved when I left for college. I came back to open the salon.”

Trying not to laugh, I question, “Amadeus huh?”

Cosmo elbows me in the ribs and says, “Stop. I have no idea why my parents decided Amadeus would be a good middle name. I’ve never asked. I assume they wanted something as unique as my first name.”

“How did they decide on your name? Or do you not know?”

Cosmo laughs, “Okay, so that story I do know. Apparently, I was named after the cocktail my mother missed most when she was pregnant with me. What about you? How’d your parents come up with your name?”

Sighing, I say, “I was born while my dad was serving a month-long sentence in jail for a DWI. Shifters metabolize alcohol faster than humans so, for him to be drunk enough to fail a sobriety test he had to have drunk a shit ton before getting behind the wheel.
