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 23

Andy thought this might be the first time in years that he’d felt genuinely grateful for anything—andhere was Scooter wondering why he didn’t complain more. It didn’t make sense.

“You’ve worked hard for everything you’ve got,” Scooter said. “And this is your home. You shouldn’t have to give up space because Jeff’s an asshole and I’m forgetful. I’ll get it taken care of, right after the storm, okay?” He didn’t turn around, but the muscles in Scooter’s back were stiff, uncomfortable.

Andy didn’t know what to say or do. He didn’t know what he’d done wrong or how to fix it.

Before he could think of a response, Scooter said, “You should get your shower in. That seaweed down your trunks is gonna stick to your skin if it dries all the way.”

That sounded like something learned through hard experience.
