Some part of his mind thinks it should feel off, different, that there is something about having a tall, lanky man on his lap that should bother him. Except it doesn't. Not when that man is Vasquez, when it's a man who could have been the turning point in his life.

No, is the turning point in his life. Whatever happened in Rose Creek, this is their life, and it is different and changed and he's finding he's glad for that. Not even just in being alive. Well, that is part of it, but Vasquez is so much more.

"Ain't that a loaded question," he murmurs, though he's smiling as he kisses him. "But you know me, I'm always ready."

Which he's not, but he's willing.
