You've reached Tim Stoker. I'm out at the moment. Leave me a message and I'll return your call soon.

Yeah. Charlotte, my submissive, was home and talked her down before the cops showed up. So the only damage done was to my front door and we're moving out soon anyway.

[massrez]

I'm glad no one was hurt. And I'm so sorry that happened to you both.

I still can't quite put together how this all happened. It doesn't make sense.

[alwayskayaking]

She didn't like that I was choosing to be friends with a man named Jacob.

[massrez]

Yes, he'd mentioned you two were close.

[alwayskayaking]

Did he? [Close? Tim isn't sure how to feel about that word.] Was that before or after the city told everyone about us?

[massrez]

After.

He thought I might be angry with him as well, though he needn't have been. You're both capable of making your own decisions, and there was nothing about exclusivity in our contract.

[alwayskayaking]

I'm glad he has someone sticking with him. It doesn't sound like many people are happy with either of us.

Heh. Never been the "other guy" in a relationship before. Can't say I like it.

[massrez]

I know you both too well to think either of you meant any harm in it.

[alwayskayaking]

I probably should have known his friends couldn't stand the fact that he was spending time with me. It's never a good thing when you have to hide that you're seeing someone.

[massrez]

Sometimes people have their reasons for keeping private matters private. Especially here.

But it shouldn't have come to this, no matter how they felt.

[alwayskayaking]

I'll be glad if the only casualty from this is my front door.

[massrez]

As will I.

How is Charlotte, after all this?

[alwayskayaking]

She's alright, but I think she'll be happier when our contract ends.

[massrez]

And what will you do?

[alwayskayaking]

The only thing I can do. Move out and find a new submissive. So if you know anyone who needs a dominant send them my way.

[massrez]

I'll bear that in mind.

I know you don't think well of magic, but it may be possible to place protective wards at your next residence. Something to consider, perhaps.

[alwayskayaking]

You're right; I don't really like it, but you also have a point. I have come across some helpful magic since I've arrived here.

[massrez]

If it will help you feel secure in your new home, I'd be willing to help. Just say the word.

[alwayskayaking]

I think I would feel better knowing it was you. I'll let you know when I find a place.

[massrez]

It will help put my own mind at ease, as well. I appreciate it.

[alwayskayaking]

I'll let you know. I've narrowed it down to two apartments so once I pick I'll ask you over.
