He’d done it. He’d spoken up and started a conversation instead of an argument. Beck was feeling good. They’d gotten past the apologies and forgiveness and now they were on Church Street, wandering, holding hands and enjoying the evening air while they waited for their reservation time.

This was fucking amazing. Sky was glowing next to him, the canopy of lights making Sky’s eyes sparkle, turning him on with every smile.

Every so often Sky would touch his wedding ring, stroking his finger, making electricity shoot up his arm. He’d put the ring in his pocket before he left for Baltimore, but it had taken him a while to feel right about putting it back on. It hadn’t left his finger since they got back to Vermont, though, when it started to feel like there was hope.

“The restaurant’s up here. It’s almost time.” This was something he and Sky hadn’t been able to do much. Hold hands in public. He was lucky to have moved somewhere so liberal and welcoming.

“Have you decided what wine you’re going to torture me with, babe?” Sky bumped his shoulder into Beck’s arm.

“Chianti. If you can handle it.” A glass of wine would do him some good after this emotional day. It was a shame Sky couldn’t join him. “If not, I’ll have a Coke.”

“You’re not going to let me have one glass?” Oh, that puppy dog look.

“Sky…Kevin’s already going to beat me over your hip.” But maybe it wasn’t that big a deal? What was the worst that could happen?

“I had my pill at what? Nine? That was ten hours ago, and I’m not driving.” Sky squeezed his fingers. “But if you think it’s a bad move, I won’t be a bitch about it, promise.”

He wondered if Mr. “I’ll tell you if I need the ER” understood how much that little concession meant to him. Or if Sky had even done it consciously. Either way, Sky was trusting his judgment and it felt good. “One glass, and you don’t tell on me.”

“Fair enough. Are you going to get noodles?” Sky bounced a little bit, not too much. “I’m loving being able to eat carbs.”

“I don’t know. Probably. Maybe the cream sauce…um. Alfredo. With veggies. I’ll share.” He had to admit, as much as Sky was hot at fighting weight, his off-season lover, with a little bulk alongside that muscle, was even better. Sky wasn’t there yet, with having been hurt and the surgeries and the meds, but would be soon. Especially if he kept going for the carbs.

“Mmm…I love it when you make that. I never eat Alfredo out because yours is better.”

“Really?” Well, that was nice. He’d had no idea. “This winter we’ll have some people over for your chili.” Sky had to meet everybody first, though. Adam and the paralegals at work, Paul and Danny, his buddies at the marina. The neighbors. His skiing friends. Everybody. “There are people you should meet sooner, of course. Adam’s been asking.”

“I like folks, and I’m walking now, even if I have tennies on.
