When the sound of the doorbell bounced off the walls of the brownstone the next day, I stifled a chuckle at the tension immediately taking hold of Lexington's shoulders as we were slumped together on the small sofa watching old reruns of Buffy the Vampire Slayer on television. Admittedly, this is the most excited I think I've been to see Julian since our awkward breakup. Lex still gets twitchy around him, but I try not to give him too much shit about it.
I pulled the door back to find Julian's smiling face standing on the other side in a pair of shorts and a t-shirt, the sun brushing through the trees to glint off a six-pack of Samuel Adams he had brought over. "Hey! Thanks so much for coming, I really appreciate it."
