Snippet:
Ben finished his tea and stood up. ″I should shower and get ready for work. Would you like to shower first?″
″No, that’s fine. You do it. I’m going in a little later today. I’ve got some appointments first.″
″What appointments?″
″I need to pick up my new Canadian passport for one.″
″And the other?″
Ray touched the sidepiece on his glasses. ″I’m tired of changing these out for readers a hundred times a day. I called last week about getting some old folks’ glasses.″
″Old folks glasses? Do you by any chance mean bifocals?″
″Yeah, like I said, old folk glasses. He made me up a pair. I go pick them up this morning. I’m officially old old now.″
″Old old?″
″Old bones, old eyes, just plain old.″
Ben smiled and leaned down for a quick kiss. ″You’re younger than I am and I love you in glasses.″
″Or without.″
″That, too, yes.″
Ray grinned, suddenly imagining all the things Ben could do to make him stop worrying so much. ″How about we shower together?″
Ben didn’t answer with words, but with another kiss. He grabbed Ray’s hand and led him off to jump start the day. Who knew getting clean and dirty could happen at the same time?
