Re: Crew Meetings & Interactions.
"Jamie," Patrick said, taking over introductions. He was pretty sure he was the only dude present who knew everyone. Noah had already given his own name, so Patrick did not echo this. But then his bro appeared, and Patrick thumbed in his direction. "Adrian. My bro," which he added because there was no way anyone would look at him and Adrian and assume they shared blood.
And everyone knew Ren, so Patrick went back to sucking on his Gatorade bottle and thinking about the fact that everyone in this gathering was into dudes, man. What were the odds? Also, that Adrian and Ren had hooked up, which was not so strange in this town, but this would have been a most favorable relationship for his bro (Patrick very much wanted Adrian to hook up with someone good, and for reasons beyond his own guilt).
