They all chatted a few moments and then Nicky said he had the keys to the store and that he’d let Mitch in to get some beer, and he could pay Nick when the store opened on Monday.

Mitch ended up getting two cases.The plan was that he, Paul, Deb’s father and a few others were going to watch football for the day.Mason knew that was pretty much the tradition.Mitch asked if they wanted to join them, but Nicky was quick to decline.

When Nicky and Mason returned to Mason’s place, Mason offered Nicky some lunch.

“I have a boatload of leftovers from yesterday that Deb gave me.”Mason opened the door of his refrigerator.“How about a turkey sandwich?”

“Got some cranberry sauce?”

Mason looked over his shoulder at Nicky.“Toasted, turkey, cranberry sauce and mayo?”

“That’s exactly how I like it,” Nicky laughed.

“Waldorf salad and extra dressing on the side?”

“I can see this is the beginning of a beautiful relationship.”

Mason walked over to Nicky.“I think I can handle that.”He leaned in and Nicky met him halfway.

“Good.”Nicky kissed Mason again.This time it did become more passionate.“Hope you have some pecan pie.”
