    Summary

    He hadn’t realized how intensely he’d been staring at him until Julian’s eyes finally met his. Julian leaned down further, holding eye contact as he went, until his cheek pressed against the hood. He nuzzled into the warm metal, shoulders shifting, eyelids fluttering shut.

    Albert was growing restless. With each passing second, a mounting nervousness clawed sharper at his throat. His gaze flickered to his wedding ring, then to Julian’s. He wanted out of this driveway, out of Juliet’s potential line of sight. He wanted to feel more than metal and only one of Julian’s fingers. He’d been promised a ride tonight.

    Summary

    An unexpected break-up means Robby ends up going to Pittfest with Jake after all. He asks Abbot to cover half his shift, and Abbot is happy to agree—surely half a day shift can't be nearly as chaotic as the usual night shift. Everything that happens later changes his perspective on plenty of things, from just how crazy the day shift can get, to where exactly he wants to stand with Robby.
