Ian played the game. Talked to possible matches for ninety seconds each. Drowned in a sea of pristine faces, gym-bro bodies, and hungry expressions.
He’d taken a leap of faith, trying out speed dating. “Pick one. Get off,” Lip said. “Dust off your dick. Move on.”
Ian did move on, by pushing in his chair and heading outside.
He was done with this game. He wanted someone real. Someone challenging. Someone –
“Bunch of pretentious assholes, aren’t they?” Black hair, holey scarf, mechanic’s overalls, smoking in the alley.
Ian asked for a light. Maybe this hadn’t been a mistake after all.
