âYou never know, if youâd got a job that needs to be done, you can probably find some student whoâd be desperate enough to do it, I definitely supported my youngest daughter through a few years of unpaid internships.â Aaron laughed, âI was married for about five years when I was in my 20âČs, we had two daughters and then split up when I got a job here in the city and she didnât want to leave California, so the girls and I moved here. My youngest has moved back now and my oldestâŠI donât know where she is, but Iâve got her daughter with me full time now and I just always hold out hope that shâll make her way back to us one day.â He looked away and cleared his throat, it was a hard subject to talk about, so he brushed it off.  âWhat about you? You canât possible be single, can you?âÂ
Celeste listened, nodding and being respectful- it wasnât exactly the happiest story, hearing about the manâs divorce and his kids. And his grandkid, and everything. But it showed that Aaron was pretty committed to his family. Not the usual type she met sitting at the bar after a drag show. She grinned. âYouâre so sweet, taking care of her daughter. That shows youâre a good guy. I hope she makes her way back, too.â Celeste raised eyebrows. âI am single, hopelessly so it would seem.â She laughed. âI work quite a bit. Full-time paramedic, part-time drag queen. And then I have my numbers to create, and my dog to take care of. Iâm thinking about adopting some chickens, too.â She leaned into her hand, brushing the soft hair of her wig out of her face. âI think... Iâd like to get another cocktail. And Iâd like to talk to you more. So if youâd like to join me for another drink...â
