Chapter 2

“You’re married?” Zack blurts.

“Not anymore. She wanted different things. Still good friends. Honestly, best friends and better than before, but I’m a bachelor. I, um, hear you got divorced before you moved here. Small town, people gossip. Your realtor is in my book group,” Richard explains, and Zack has to hide that he’s pleased that Richard isn’t dating anyone. They might not have talked about their backgrounds, but they’ve had nice conversations out front of their houses, and Zack is definitely crushing on Richard. Not just because of his sexy silver beard and deep brown eyes. Those appeal to part of Zack, but not all of him. It’s the humor and kindness he sees in Richard that has him feeling like he’s back in high school.
