Blurb: Bailey occasionally fills in as a substitute bartender at his friend’s airport bar as a favor. He strikes up a conversation with Curt, a professor on his way to a family Thanksgiving in Chicago. They hit it off, and make plans to meet up after the holiday, but when the flight is delayed and then canceled, Bailey jumps at the chance to move up the timetable. He invites Curt back to his place for a drink and more, but he has the feeling this is more than a one-night stand. Will Curt feel the same?

Review: Once again, this is an example of a well-written short story. Two men meet in a bar, hit it off and then decide to go home and hit it off even better between the sheets. The story focuses largely on the interaction between the two men and that intense focus pulls the reader in. Bailey and Curt are obviously attracted to each other and decide to meet up at a later date until fate intercedes and they move their tryst up. As expected, both men burn it up between the sheets. What the reader gets is that they are viewing what is possibly the beginning of something more, and that peak inside is what makes the story so appealing.
The characters are very likable and believable and you can see the two men are very much in character.
Nice short read.
