Happy Sunday everyone!

This is the first few lines from a holiday story (Hanukkah, in fact) that I'm writing, which currently has no title. This scene take place at an office holiday party.

Matt is an attorney and Ethan is catering the party.

Matt set his plate down at the far end of a counter so he’d be out of the way, then cut a big bite of latke and scooped up some apple sauce with it, and put it in his mouth. 

“Oh, yum. Mm-mm-mm.” Crunchy, a little garlicky, fried just perfectly. He took another bite. “Oh man.”

“Everything okay, sir?” 

Startled, he turned abruptly with his mouth still full and looked right into a pair of sweet blue eyes. Sweet, familiar blue eyes. 

He quickly finished chewing. “Ethan?”

“Matt? Oh my God!” 

Oh shit. 

“Is this where you work?” Ethan’s sweet eyes got all crinkly with a big grin.

“Yeah…” He put his fork down slowly.


Ethan hovered a little, evidently feeling as awkward as he did about whether they should hug or shake hands. What was the etiquette for running into a one night stand?

Have a great Sunday!
