Chapter 35

“I know a guy,” Nate said, “who has a bach—more of a cottage really—a summerhouse a short way up the road on Marine Parade. He doesn’t close it up until winter, but he wouldn’t be there now. He teaches at a college in Welly, and the term just started this week. So maybe we could stay there tonight, check out how things mesh in a proper bed.” After a small, nervous chuckle, Nate took a breath and turned serious, the next words seeming to come easy. “I wouldn’t mind that so much, Rusty. I like you. A lot.”
