It was absolutely adorable.

When they reached the group table, Brandon caught Jeff’s hand, and reached for Stuart’s, pulling them both next to him as their friends stood and welcomed them.

They ended up seated next to Landry, Cris, and Bob, who were once again without Tilly.

Across the table, Tony smiled and clinked his fork against his water glass to get everyone’s attention. Then he smiled and held his glass up in a toast. “I think pretty much everyone here has heard the story about how these three first met.” He glanced down the table. “Backhanded thanks go to Ken, too, who redeemed himself.”

Ken held up his hands. “Hey, best thing to ever happen to me, too. I traded up after I dumped her ass.” Everyone laughed as he patted the shoulder of the woman with him.

“I wanted to be the first to officially congratulate the three of you,” Tony continued with a smile. “Accidental beginnings notwithstanding, it’s great to see what the three of you have now.”

Everyone joined them in the toast, clinking glasses all the way around.

After their orders had been taken, Brandon ordering for Jeff and Stuart after finding out what they wanted, Loren rose and walked around the table to talk with Brandon for a moment away from the table.

While they were gone, Stuart leaned in to Jeff. “Guess me getting catfished wasn’t such a bad thing after all, huh?”

Jeff kissed him. “Best damn thing to happen to all three of us, in my opinion.”
