For this week’s Tease Me Thursday, I thought it would be fun to post a
snippet from a free story I’m writing for the GoodReads M/M Romance group
event, Love’s Landscapes.
In this bit, marketing ace Sean Whelan, who has been kicked
to the curb by his business partner, tells his mother he has taken a menial job at
Dippolito’s Italian Bakery.
~~~~~~~
“A bakery?” It was amazing how Sean’s mother’s voice managed
to convey so many negative impressions in two words. It was a gift.
“An Italian bakery.”
“That doesn’t make any sense. You’re Irish. And you stopped
eating pastry when you started that running thing you do. Are you still
running?”
“Yes, Mom. This is a job, a way to get out of the house and make a little cash. I’ll be decorating cakes.”
Silence.
“Mom?”
“Are you doing this because you’re gay?”
