Garraty clears his throat, then asks, “What about you, Pete? You got a lady?”
McVries holds Garraty’s gaze for a moment, intensely, then says, “No, Ray. No, I don’t.”
Every molecule of Raymond Garraty slows to a snail’s pace. McVries peers at him, dark eyes half-lidded, smiling softly. Garraty feels a little like he’s fallen behind in a race he didn’t know he was running.
They keep looking at each other, silently, until McVries’s lips quirk up like Garraty’s said something funny, and he lifts his bottle to his lips.
“What is it?” Garraty asks. “What’s so funny?”
McVries shakes his head, still wearing that knowing smile. “Nothing, Ray. Not a thing.”
Ray Garraty and Peter McVries fuck around, get together, and fall in love. Not necessarily in that order.
