Nights in Sandbridge

Andy Howard dropped out of college to get away from his abusive father. When his longtime boyfriend reveals similar tendencies, Andy refuses to endure another moment of it, running away with nothing more than the cash in his pockets. He makes it to Virginia, where he's taken in by Scooter Stahl, a restaurant owner looking for an extra hand who's willing to be paid cash under the table.<br><br>Scooter's been struggling for years: to keep the beachside restaurant he inherited from his parents above water (both financially and literally); to live down the fact that he's gay in a small southern town; to get over the man who's owned his heart since he was fourteen. But he's never had to struggle as hard as he is now, to keep his hands off Andy.

Chapter 37

Scooter was probably just imagining the collective sigh of relief that came from the pub.

“I know, pal, but she’s your Ma. She still worries. Gimme your keys.”

Scooter dug around in his pocket, fumbled a few times. “He put his wedding ring on the dresser, Jase. Right there! On the dresser.” He hitched in a breath that threatened to become a sob. “I don’t…I don’t know…He couldn’t’ve left it at home? Or somethin’?”

“Well maybe,” Jason suggested, unlocking the truck and helping Scooter climb up into the passenger seat, “you shouldn’t be fucking a married guy, even if it’s just a political marriage of convenience.”

“They’ve only been married like three months,” Scooter said, sullen. “She’s at her mom’s. Stefanie. Stefanie Sharpe. It’s not fair, Jase. I love him. It’s just not fair.”
