OMG, I haven't even finished the story, but I had to share with you this exchange that I thought to be truly brilliant!
The guy sighed. “I’ve had a pretty shitty year, so if you’re here to kidnap me I’d advise against it because I’m about a step away from turning to the Dark Side. Also, not gay, so I’m not interested if the staring was your oh-so-subtle way of indicating your attraction.”
Tim choked and sputtered on his ill-timed swig of beer.
“That’s a no,” the man observed. “Good.”
Annoyed, Tim wiped his mouth, turning to glare. In response, the man looked distinctly unimpressed. He resisted the urge to sulk. He was a federal agent, shouldn’t he be able to intimidate people with a look?
