“Justin looks familiar because he’s an architect.”
As far as an explanation goes, that one is pretty terrible. “Yes. And we all know each other through The Gay Architects Association. I forgot. Were you at the potluck last month?”
“Yup. I brought the pasta salad,” Justin answers, without missing a beat.
Avery salutes him with his beer bottle. “It was really good. I liked the bacon.”

There’s more there—in his body language and the sharpness of his gaze—but Avery understands what he’s not saying. “Usually when I make people quiet, it’s because they can’t get a word in edgewise.” Avery smiles at him encouragingly. “See?

“Hey, Harlan. Remember that one time I called you and said I wanted to do acid, and you were all, ‘No, Avery, I think you shouldn’t do that.’ And then I went ahead and did it anyway?”
