Summary: Theo wants to spend the night at Liam’s house, but his pride prevents him from admitting he’s homeless and asking. His luck seems to turn around later that night when an old woman finds him sleeping in a parking lot and invites him home for a slice of apple pie and a proper bed. The offer is too appealing to pass up, but can Liam save Theo from the apple-themed ordeal that follows?
“You wanna take the guest room?”
Theo all but gasped. He didn’t think it would actually happen. The other two nights Liam had sent him on his way without even raising the possibility that Theo could stay.
“Yes, please.” Mason grinned at Liam and tugged Corey to his feet. “I don’t think I could sneak Corey past my parents.”
