reaction mildly."
    "Did he ask… you know…?"
    "To do me? No! I think he'd sooner pass out than actually ask me something like that. He's very conscious of the fact that I'm straight. But if we don't get him and Craig back together again, the boy's going to lose his mind. He needs to get laid. When he saw Jeff Junior, he turned red and then went all white. I thought he might pass out and became worried for a moment until the color came back into his face."
    "What made that happen?" she asked.
    "I turned around at his request so he could see my ass. I figured total nudity would be no different than being in the locker room at the gym. Being naked isn't any big deal for me, but it surely was for our friend."
    "Are you sure you don't wanna give him what he wants so bad?"
    "You mean let him suck my dick? No way, honey. I'm straight, and unless I was stuck on a desert island or, God forbid, in prison for a long stretch, I'd never consent to that kind of thing anymore than Adam could let you have your way with him."
    "Okay, now that you put the scenario that way, I understand." She put her arms around her husband and hugged him tightly. "Now go eat lunch!"

    A couple weeks later, Doris asked Adam to dress nicely since they were having a small dinner party with friends. Doris spent all day cooking, and both Jeff and Adam looked great in dressier than normal clothing that just happened to include two very beautiful Polo shirts.
    Adam helped set the table and looked surprised when told to set only four places.
    "Doris, the dinner party is for one of your friends, not a bunch?" Adam asked, puzzled.
    "Yes, the purpose is to reconnect with an old friend we lost contact with and to bring her back into our lives. I expect she'll be around more in the future."
    Adam shrugged. He set out wine glasses as well as water glasses, and the table looked beautiful when Jeff put a pair of silver candlesticks holding two long-stem white candles on the table.
    At a little before seven, Jeff lit the candles and they all sat down in the living room, enjoying the aroma of the Italian dinner Doris had prepared. She had created a very basic entrée made of ground beef, elbow macaroni, onions, peas, and sauce. What made the dish special had to be the tomato sauce that had simmered all day, amply filled with just the right spices, including garlic. The last time Adam had eaten this for dinner, just before the move, he'd made a pig of himself and had three helpings.
    Finally the doorbell rang and Doris sprang up to answer the door. The smile left Adam's face when he saw Craig walk into the house. While Doris took his coat, Jeff went over to him and gave him a hug. When Craig noticed Adam now standing in the dining room doorway, the smile left his face as Doris closed the door.
    Craig shot Doris a look that communicated disapproval and anger as well. Jeff moved in a little closer to Doris, a movement that seemed to say "Chill out, Craig."
    "I thought he would be gone for the night and that's why you invited me over so the three of us could have dinner," Craig said in a harsh tone.
    "Honey," Doris said, "I just thought the time had arrived for you two to put aside the hurt and become friends once more. Adam's miserable without you, and I have to assume on some level you're miserable without Adam too."
    "Never mind. I'm going to leave for the evening. I'll be back around eleven," Adam said as he walked towards the closet. When he got there, he found all six foot two of Jeff standing in front of the door.
    "Sit down and act like an adult," said Jeff, without a hint that he wasn't dead serious. "You! Sit down on the sofa as well. Doris spent all day in the kitchen making a dish she knows you both like, so have the courtesy to sit the hell down and enjoy the food. No one is going anywhere."
    Adam and Craig both flinched at the tone of Jeff's voice. After looking again to see if Jeff was serious, they both sat down at opposite ends of the sofa while
