Though the kitchen feels more cramped than ever. Determined to ride this one through, I fill two glasses with water, lay the cutlery, and comment on the delicious scent of the dinner and the improving weather. Nonetheless, by the time he dishes the food onto two plates, even I\u2019ve descended into silence.<\/p>\n

And still, he doesn\u2019t take his dinner elsewhere. \u201cI\u2019m sorry the lads\u2019 flat didn\u2019t work out.\u201d He addresses his noodles. \u201cOn paper, it sounded perfect.\u201d Briefly, his brown gaze flicks up to mine. He\u2019s trying, I think to myself. Fighting the urge to retreat. Pleased he\u2019s not abandoned me, I smile back at him. \u201cOn paper, Gerald, I\u2019m a smart, solvent, and emotionally stable urological surgeon. Which is why you always, always should insist on seeing a live demo before you commit.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSo that\u2019s where I went wrong.\u201d With a chuckle, he shovels down a heaped forkful of stir-fry. It tastes as wonderful as it smells. \u201cAnd I\u2019m not so sure about the smart. Which idiot told you that?\u201d \u201cMy grandma,\u201d I deadpan. \u201cShe thinks I\u2019m awesome. Hey, I\u2019m going back into town, later. To Earth Bar, you know, the place in Camden that Ezra and his mate bought?<\/p>\n

A few of us are going. One of my colleagues from work will be there, too. Luke. I believe you\u2019ve met him a few times. He\u2019s quiet, lets people get a word in edgeways. It\u2019s not going to be a really late one; we could get an Uber back together afterwards.\u201d \u201cYou\u2019re inviting me so you can share the cost of the Uber, is that it?\u201d<\/p>\n

One of the slugbrows climbs his forehead, and I pull a face. \u201cObviously. I\u2019m planning on inviting Mrs Gregson too, so we can split it three ways.\u201d \u201cAnd if you hook up with someone\u201d the slugbrows don\u2019t seem too keen on that idea \u201cand I have to make my own way back?\u201d<\/p>\n

Performances are judged on their content, precision, difficulty of the routine, and stepping in time to music. Dog safety is paramount. Some of the moves described in this story are not allowed in professional competitions; I have taken a few liberties. Please do not attempt any of these dog tricks with your own beloved pooches! Crufts is an international dog show held yearly in the UK since 1891!<\/p>\n

It is the largest show of its kind in the world. Thank you to my lovely readers for sticking with me for so many years. Wow, it\u2019s gone fast. I hope you enjoy Alaric\u2019s story. A very, very special thank you to M.A. Hinkle, my editor. Any errors are mine alone. OceanofPDF.com CHAPTER 1 ALARIC We\u2019re in a very gay cocktail bar near the hospital, enjoying a quick pint after work.<\/p>\n

At least, my friend and colleague Luke is having a pint. I\u2019m having a mai-tai I can ill afford, garnished with a sprig of rosemary. \u201cStill no luck finding a new flat?\u201d he asks. \u201cNo.\u201d Glumly, I take a small sip in an effort to make it last. \u201cHow about\u2013\u201c When Luke opens his mouth\u2014before his lips even shape the word\u2014I\u2019ve guessed whose name is coming out. And, already, I\u2019m shaking my head.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo. Absolutely not. Not Gerald.\u201d \u201cBeggars can\u2019t be choosers,\u201d Luke points out. \u201cRemind me when you have to move out of Stefan\u2019s flat?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
