Chapter 4

Noah thought he’d be returning home for every summer break. He should have known better. The first one, at the end of his freshman year, he’d been sent out to Phoenix again to visit with Uncle Clay, and it had been so hot, he’d nearly melted.

The summer after his sophomore year he flew out to Hawaii to see Travis and his vampyre. She’d been kind of standoffish, while Trav, an EMT who worked the graveyard shift, tried to hook him up with the sisters of the men he worked with.

Noah cut his vacation short and told Pop if he wasn’t allowed to come home for the next summer break, he was not coming home again, period.

So the summer after Noah’s junior year, he did get to come home—and his mom dragged him off to a yoga class with her.

“You know my joints were getting so stiff,” she told him at dinner the first night he’d been back.

“Uh…no, I didn’t know that, Ma.”

“Well, they were. But I’m so much better now. I can’t tell you how pleased I am with the results. You have to come with me.”

“I thought I’d spend some time with Zander.”

“He’s at the police academy,” Pop said.

“Yeah? That’s cool.”

“I’m surprised they accepted him. He’s nothing but trash.”

“Pop, Zander is a good guy.”

Pop grunted; he’d never liked Zander Kowalski, maybe because Zander was gay.

“So that’s settled,” Mom said cheerily. “You’ll join me.”

“Okay, Ma.” Noah sighed.

He was the only male in the class, but he enjoyed it, until he noticed the number of girls who flocked around him at the end of each class.

“Ma.” He tapped his foot. His mother had set him up.

“Well…” She didn’t deny it. “It wouldn’t hurt if you asked one of these lovely young ladies on a date.”

“I’m gay, Ma.” He said it loud enough that the “lovely young ladies” heard him.

To his astonishment, that didn’t deter them. They made him their gay best friend, and he wound up joining them for dinner, movies, or dancing on Friday evenings when Pop didn’t need him at the Golden Circle.

The movements loosened his joints as well, and he decided to continue practicing when he returned to campus at the start of the fall semester.

It was a beautiful Indian summer day—too beautiful to spend it indoors, studying. He went to the Quiet Green, unrolled his yoga mat, and began warming up.

He had just positioned himself in the big toe pose when he felt someone watching him. He concentrated on his breathing, and when he straightened, he looked around.

A girl leaned casually against a tree. She had the most beautiful strawberry blonde hair and striking blue eyes, and she smiled when she saw him watching her in turn. She pushed off from the tree and walked toward him.

“Hi. I couldn’t help admiring your form.”

“Thank you.”

“My name is Marti Matheson. I’m taking Visual Arts, and I’d like to ask a favor of you.”

“Okay,” he said cautiously.

“Would you be interested in modeling for me?”

“Excuse me?”

“I said—”

“I know what you said.
