    Summary

    “Well I’m going to run some errands,” David says, brushing a stray bit of fuzz off his navy blue sweater. “But we’re still on for birthday dinner?”

    “Yeah,” Patrick nods. He’s pretty sure David knows the annual birthday surprise party stopped being a surprise after year two or three. David doesn’t even inflict fictional catastrophes on the café as a decoy anymore. But Patrick plays along anyway. In some ways their whole partnership is built on playing along.

    OR David and Patrick have been business partners for a decade until, on Patrick's 40th Birthday, everything changes.

    Summary

    Alexis tugs at the pieces of her braid. And she smells a perfume that he knows she already owns. And she wanders over to the stationery display. And when she starts flipping through the pages of a journal like she’s reading it, Patrick finally feels ready to bite the bullet and politely ask her to get the hell out, but—
    “You know what sucks?” she asks casually, still looking at the journal, “Having to call off an engagement.”

    After the barbecue, Alexis visits Rose Apothecary.

    Summary

    David stood stunned as the man walked away, thankful he was already leaning against the wall because it kept from falling over as his knees threatened to give out. Was this guy serious? Who would joke about that? And why? He clutched the business card between his fingers and blinked, watching the shadow of the man round the corner onto the sidewalk, presumably going home after… what? Delivering a life-changing diagnosis after giving a blowjob in the back alley behind a gay club in rural Ontario? No, it had to be a joke. But what if it wasn’t? What if he was serious? What if David had… cancer?

    Summary

    It’s 9:30 pm and David settles in for a long study session. He arranges everything just so on the desk he’s seated behind. He takes his laptop out from his black leather messenger bag and puts it directly in front of him. He sets his extra large caramel macchiato, skim, two sweeteners to the right of his laptop, but not too close in case of a spill. The barista even got the sprinkle of cocoa powder just right tonight. Thank god for that. Next is the black leather-bound notebook off to the left and proper black gel ink pen right beside it. He pulls his chair forward and tucks his legs under the desk, planting his feet on the ground. Ergonomics are an important consideration for him too, especially considering how long he’s probably going to be sitting in the same spot.
