Chapter 11

Rob made a slight sound that recalled Sean to the present. “The chalice,” he whispered. “It’s next.” Sean complied and within a few seconds they had the job done.

Rob set the bag down on a shelf to one side.

Sean started to say something about his impression of Daniel’s behavior but decided he shouldn’t. Rob might be getting disenchanted with his mentor and lover, but Sean sensed any criticism from elsewhere would not yet meet with agreement. He suspected Rob was fiercely loyal, even to those who didn’t deserve it. Instead he turned toward the rest of the group. They stood around chatting casually and enjoying the refreshments. Melly and Steve had supplied the treats this time, a big thermos of mulled cider and a large tray of festive cookies.
