Re: Sam/Tamira
"Do me a favor and don't ever tell Sean you tune his husband out." Normal had never been in Sam's vocabulary, not really. He'd tried, they'd tried. But, Sam was Sam and normal was, well, Tamira had always suspected normal was a bit boring for men like Sam. Despite whatever new affection had finally grown between their son and his father, she didn't think Sean would take ignoring Troy well, even in jest. "And when was the last time you spent any great amount of time with normal, happy twenty-something young men?" she asked, laughing a bit. "And no, the guys in your BUDs class do not count as normal. Sports, food, his friends, and our son. That's what's important to him," she added.
"And when exactly would I have time for a gym? But, yes, Napa. It was a short trip for Oliver and Derek's birthdays. Not that most people even left the hotel spa unless they went to the pool." Cocking her head, one eyebrow raised as she listened to him. "Right, because having sex after all that talk about never telling him you're gay or that you've had feelings for the man practically since the day you met isn't a big change at all. The fact you're wearing matching rings and got a man who can't ever settle down to make a commitment isn't a change. Nor is the fact our son not only clearly adores you now, but also loves the man you married. Nothing important there. Right? And of course he's riding dinosaurs. You always said his number one hobby was giving you heart failure with his reckless behavior and utter lack of self preservation desires."
