Being Fitz

Lysander "Fitz" Fitzgibbon used to teach at a university, but quit when his father grew ill and needed someone to take care of him. Years later, after his dad's death, Fitz has given up on his dreams, drives a bus route, and endures visits from Jerry, who can't really be called a friend, and barely a benefit. Fitz is lonely, worries about his weight, and figures life won't be getting any better.<br><br>Then, Fitz stumbles over a dead body in the park. As if life couldn't get any worse, he has a run-in with Detective Holland Simms, whose infuriating arrogance and brash behavior provokes Fitz to punch him. But strangely enough, Fitz feels more alive around Simms than he has in a long time, though he finds it hard to believe that the confident Simms would want anything to do with him. Should he take a chance on more?

Chapter 15

Randy looked at me seriously. “In all the years I’ve known you, Fitz, you’ve never looked this happy about anything. This job sucks, and I know you could do better, but you stick it out anyway. At least you’re doing something for you, for a change. That’s all I’m saying. Keep it up.”

Maybe I would.

It was another two weeks and just after Halloween when Simms and I finally had our date. He’d been told to take a couple days off since he’d been working a case for three days straight and it had just broken the night before. This wasn’t to say that we hadn’t been having sex in the meantime. But we’d also tried to find a few minutes a day just to check in and see how the other was doing. It was so different from what I’d had with Jerry—with anyone, really. Simms and I were forging a connection, trying to have an adult relationship where, yes, the sex was smoking, but we did other things, too.
