Tristan remained beside Michael
as they walked to the diner. He could get used to being with Michael. He’d only
been in town for twenty-four hours and he couldn’t fathom not having Michael in
his life. As friends? Absolutely. As lovers? If he had his way, then yes. He
admired the different buildings along the route.
Many of the storefronts bore art
deco influence. He stopped in front of an abandoned former appliance store.
“What happened here?”
“It went under. People wanted
cheaper prices.” Michael shrugged. “I think it would make a great store for
something else.” He cupped his hands against the glass and peered through the
window. “It’s got a second floor and a lot of the neon still works.”
“Yeah?” He shielded his eyes and
peeked through the glass. Sure enough, he noticed the second floor and the
raised areas of the first floor. “Has anyone tried to resurrect it?”
“No.” Michael strode away from
the building.
Sadness settled deep in Tristan’s
bones. Where he lived in New York, shops sprang up and collapsed yearly. A few
went the distance, but most didn’t. He missed the fun of record shopping for
vinyl and second-hand books at another store. He saw so much potential in
Sullavan, but he also understood the reality of keeping a business alive. He
paused.
The characters spoke to him. One
of them wanted to keep a struggling business going. One that was started by the
father of the lawyer, but was now that he was ready for retirement. Tristan
nodded. He’d have to jot that notation down once they got to the diner.
“Are you okay?” Michael stopped.
“Tristan?”
Hearing his name on Michael’s
lips shouldn’t have turned him on, but it did. His nerve endings sizzled and
his heartbeat sped up. He longed to touch Michael again. The stolen moments
back at the park weren’t enough. He’d gotten an erection just from sitting
beside him.
“Well?” Michael frowned. “What’s
up?”
“I had a piece of the story fall
into place and am trying to remember it.” He hurried up to Michael and fell
back into step with him. “I’ll write it down when we get a table.”
BLURB:
Tristan
Paulson needs the words to return. He loves his career penning novels of
small-town love, but his muse has gone missing. If he can’t write, he can go
back to his roots and sort through the items his newly deceased uncle left
behind. Once in Sullavan, Ohio, he realizes just how much he loved the place.
Then he sees the handsome librarian—Michael is just the kind of guy he’s always
wanted. How can he go back to the big city when Sullavan calls to him?
Michael Kane wants nothing more than to be surrounded by his books and
the written word. He knows heartbreak and isn’t in the mood to put himself out
into the dating pool again…until he sees Tristan. He wants to be with Tristan,
but he’s too shy. A handsome man like Tristan wouldn’t be interested in a quiet
man like Michael…would he? Buy Links:
