Bailey Bradford

A native Texan, Bailey spends her days spinning stories around in her head, which has contributed to more than one incident of tripping over her own feet. Evenings are reserved for pounding away at the keyboard, as are early morning hours. Sleep? Doesn't happen much. Writing is too much fun, and there are too many characters bouncing about, tapping on Bailey's brain demanding to be let out. Caffeine and chocolate are permanent fixtures in Bailey's office and are never far from hand at any given time. Removing either of those necessities from Bailey's presence can result in what is known as A Very, Very Scary Bailey and is not advised under any circumstances.

John knew he needed to be patient.

He even thought about skipping the weekly family dinner, but he’d already mentioned to Benji that he went and ate with his family every Wednesday. Backing out might have made Benji suspect that John had feelings for him other than those of lust and friendship.

John was afraid that was becoming the case. On Wednesday, he dragged Henry to dinner with him, knowing his siblings and parents would pelt Henry with questions instead of him. The trade-off was that John had to deal with Henry asking him questions as soon as John picked him up.

How do you like having a friend with benefits? Henry asked right off the bat as he got in the truck.
