“Well,” Trent said, and smiled self-deprecatingly. “He accused me of having an affair.”“Oh come on now. That’s bull shit.” Now Ted was angry; you could tell because he dragged the word bullshit out into two long pulls, like a mouthful of licorice. “Who the hell would you be having an affair with?”“A

The sight is so bizarre, so out of place that for a minute, Roy’s not sure what he’s looking at. Trent (Crimm, the Independent) looks just as shocked as Roy feels. He’s wrapped in a fuzzy blanket, stupid hair ridiculously mussed, and he’s holding a mug of steaming coffee.

“I’m sorry, you’re what?” Rebecca’s staring at him as though he’s announced his plans of robbing a bank. “You’re going out to dinner with Trent Crimm? Trent Crimm, formerly of The Independent? That Trent Crimm?”In retrospect, sharing his dinner plans when Rebecca asked what he was doing tonight migh

Tenderly Will I Use You
by IneffablePareidolia
“Yeah, well,” Ted says ruefully, gingerly touching the cut on his forehead, “I figure if they didn’t like the team being written about by a ‘you-know-what,’ imagine how they’d feel knowing one was coaching them.”Ted groans as he gets down to his feet. “I’m gonna go check on Roy—unless there’s anythi

But he has never outright lied—a rare thing, a precious thing. Something Trent has begun to look forward to, to desire as some

After Amsterdam
by booksplease
Trent smiles. “Oh yes. Second row, left side is ideal. Why do you think you called on me first so often?”Ted swallows. He thinks of seeing Trent in that first press conference, the streak of silver in his hair, the smile that seemed to always be tugging on one side of his mouth. He thinks about
