“My secretary,” Mason said.Only recently she told me everything.”As we were sidestepping the crowd and leaving early out the back entrance, he asked me a question it appeared had been on his mind.

“Who is the man you came here with, baby?”

“My roommate, Marty.He has a boyfriend named Tyler.We live together like a family.”

“Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, will you marry me?”

“How soon, because I don’t want you disappearing on me after we’ve made love, especially now before Christmas.”

“I’m not planning on going anywhere, but you are.You’re coming home with me, and you’re not going back to that apartment.If your friends want to come live with us, they’re welcome.My place has another section where they can live away from everyone.They don’t have to pay to stay with us of course.That’s my gift to them for taking care of the love of my life, and making it possible that I was able to meet you and have my second chance at love.

“Oh another thing, baby, I want you to meet my family this Christmas Eve.”Mason’s family?
