Four

When unlikely attraction blossoms between a twentysomething genderqueer tattoo artist and an older, small-town veterinarian, both are forced to face their pasts for a chance at a loving future. Four years ago Padraig Donovan lost his husband, the only man he’d ever been with. Now his life consists of the work he loves, a big empty house, and the possibility of a lonely future. Kaos’s experiments with makeup landed him in the hospital at the hands of his disapproving ex. With nowhere else to turn, he flees to Acker, Wisconsin ... and runs into a sexy widower and the kindest man he’s ever met. Padraig and Kaos know there’s something worth exploring between them, and as they raise a puppy and deal with the ups and downs of their respective jobs, they fit into each other’s lives in ways they never expected. Being with Kaos -- who is so different than the guys he’s always been attracted to -- opens up an exciting new world for Padraig. But can he convince Kaos to trust another man with his body ... let alone his heart?

A week after Thanksgiving, Francis called and told them that he wouldn’t be working at the maternity clinic anymore. He asked if the offer for a room at their house was still open, and Padraig promised that it was.

Francis said he was organizing things, looking into registering as a nurse in Wisconsin, and figuring out what to do with a lifetime of stuff. He’d call when he was ready to make the drive with a U-Haul, and not to worry.

Padraig and Kaos still worried, especially without any specifics on what was going on. They decided together that they wouldn’t bother Francis, just because they knew he’d call if he needed them. Adding to his stress, which must already be sky-high, was out of question.
