We both look up at the same time, and there’s a question in his blue eyes. “Not a single one of them questions the gay thing.”
“Uh, nope. Not yet.”
The phone buzzes in his hand, three more times.
“Why do you think that is?” he asks. “Do I really want to know?”
I laugh. And then we return to the screen again.
