The cursor on the laptop screen blinked. It was a rhythmic, taunting line in a sea of white pixels.

Cale sat at the pine table in the kitchen, staring at the screen with the same intensity he usually reserved for structural failures or oncoming traffic. He was wearing his white dress shirt, sleeves rolled up, and the navy trousers. He looked like a CEO who had been shipwrecked and was trying to run a board meeting from a desert island.

"It is blinking," Cale said.

Elion looked up from his own n

  • Rewinding My Reaper Boyfriend   206: The Lieutenant

    The laptop screen was filled with images of canines. Big ones, small ones, fluffy ones, and ones that looked like they could chew through a car tire.Cale sat at the oak desk, scrolling with the grim determination of a general selecting troops for a black ops mission."The Belgian Malinois," Cale said, pointing at the screen. "High intelligence. High drive. Used by special forces. It is an optimal security asset."Elion walked by with a basket of laundry. He paused to look at the screen."It’s a land shark, Cale," Elion said. "It needs four hours of exercise a day or it eats the drywall. We are not getting a Malinois.""Drywall is replaceable. Security is paramount.""We live in a quiet beach town. The biggest threat is a raccoon knocking over the trash.""Raccoons are vectors for rabies. A Malinois would neutralize the vector.""No."Elion walked to the laundry room. Cale sighed and clicked 'Next'."Rottweiler," Cale called out. "Bite force of 328 PSI. Loyal. Protective.""Too much d

  • Rewinding My Reaper Boyfriend   205: The Structural Integrity of Trust

    The pickup truck that rumbled up the gravel driveway was red, rusted in the wheel wells, and sounded like it was coughing up a lung. It backfired once, loudly, before coming to a shuddering halt next to the Prius.Cale stood on the porch. He was wearing his work boots, dark jeans, and the grey sweater. His arms were crossed. His expression was that of a gatekeeper at the entrance to the underworld, checking IDs.Elion stood behind him, drinking coffee and trying not to laugh."He looks... casual," Cale noted, eyeing the driver."He's a contractor, Cale. Not a secret agent. His name is Dave. Mrs. Higgins says he built her gazebo.""A gazebo is a low-stress structure. A deck staircase is a critical load-bearing element. If it fails, gravity wins.""Gravity isn't going to win today. Be nice.""I am professional. Niceness is optional."The driver door opened. A large man with a beard and a baseball cap stepped out. He was wearing a t-shirt that said Dave's Decks: We Nail It.Cale frowned.

  • Rewinding My Reaper Boyfriend   204: The Calculation of Joy

    The kitchen smelled of burnt sugar and frustration.Elion stood by the open oven door, waving a towel at the smoke detector, which was chirping a rhythmic, piercing warning."Disable it," Cale said from the doorway. He was leaning on his cane—he didn't need it as much anymore, but he liked the weight of it in his hand. "The sensor is sensitive to particulate matter. It is a false positive.""It's not a false positive, Cale," Elion coughed. "I burned the cake. It's a positive positive."Cale walked over. He peered into the oven. A black, crusty circle sat on the rack where a vanilla sponge cake was supposed to be."Carbonization," Cale noted. "Thermal exposure exceeded the structural limit of the batter.""I got distracted," Elion admitted, closing the oven door. "I was reading the comments on the article.""The Mitchell article?""Yeah. Someone said we look like 'vampire hunters in love'. I laughed, and then I forgot the timer."Cale took the towel from Elion. He reached up and fanned

    The bathroom light was unflinching. It was a high-wattage LED bulb that Cale had installed himself because he claimed the previous incandescent bulb offered "insufficient lumen output for proper hygiene inspection."Now, he was regretting the upgrade."Elion," Cale called out. His voice was calm, but it had an edge to it. A vibration of controlled panic. "Report to the secure zone immediately.""It's a bathroom, Cale," Elion yelled from the bedroom. "Not a bunker.""It is a site of biological maintenance. And I have discovered a structural failure."Elion walked in, rubbing sleep from his eyes. He was wearing flannel pajama pants and nothing else. Cale, fully dressed in his black trousers and white shirt (he had never really embraced the concept of casual wear), was leaning over the sink, his nose inches from the mirror."What failure?" Elion asked. "Did the pipe burst?""No," Cale said. "The chassis. My chassis."He pointed a trembling finger at his own temple."Look," Cale commanded

  • Rewinding My Reaper Boyfriend   202: The Ghost's Diary

    The attic of the Brooklyn studio was hotter than the rest of the warehouse. Heat rose, carrying with it the smell of drying paint and old secrets.Elion sat on a wooden crate, holding a small, leather-bound book. It was black, nondescript, the kind you could buy at any stationery store for five dollars. But to Elion, it felt like a bomb."Are you going to open it?" Cale asked.Cale was standing by the window, looking out at the city skyline. He was wearing a white t-shirt and jeans, his posture relaxed but alert. He had been "monitoring" the pigeons on the fire escape for ten minutes."It's Alex's diary," Elion said. "It feels... invasive.""It is data," Cale said, turning around. "Data left for us. He painted the key. He painted the door. He left the breadcrumbs.""He left a scavenger hunt.""Scavenger hunts lead to prizes. Open the book."Elion took a breath. He opened the cover.Property of Alex Marrow. If found, please return to the guy who looks like me but sadder.Elion laughed,

  • Rewinding My Reaper Boyfriend    201: The Legacy of Dust

    The key turned in the lock with a heavy, satisfying clunk.Elion pushed the steel door open. The smell of the studio rushed out to meet them—turpentine, old paper, and the dry, dusty scent of a space that had been holding its breath for a year."It smells the same," Elion said, stepping inside.Cale followed him. He was not using his cane today. His leg was stiff from the drive, but he was walking under his own power. He stopped in the center of the room, scanning the space."It is... quiet," Cale said. "The acoustic profile has changed.""It's empty, Cale. We moved the furniture out last year.""The emptiness has a resonance. Like a bell after it has been struck."Elion walked to the window. He pulled up the blackout shade, letting the Brooklyn afternoon light flood the room. The dust motes swirled in the beam, golden and lazy."So," Elion said, turning back to Cale. "This is it. Our pied-à-terre. What do we do with it?""We renovate," Cale said instantly. "The wiring is still knob-a

    The morning light in the Garden Room was cruel. It illuminated the dust motes, the smudges on the glass doors, and the stark, grey pallor of Cale’s skin.Elion sat up, rubbing the grit from his eyes. He had slept in his clothes, his hand resting near the brass lamp he had used as a weapon the night

    The sound of the helicopter was a physical weight, pressing down on the roof of the library.Thwack-thwack-thwack-thwack.It vibrated through the floorboards, shaking the dust from the shelves. To Elion, it sounded like a rescue. To Cale, it sounded like exposure.Elion was on his knees next to the

    The library was a tomb of shadows and expensive leather.Outside, the storm battered the mansion with the fury of a scorned god. Rain lashed against the tall, leaded windows like gravel. Thunder shook the floorboards every few minutes, a deep, resonant boom that vibrated in Elion’s chest.Inside, t

    The wind on the roof of the Centurion Tower was not a breeze; it was a physical assault. It whipped Elion’s hair into his eyes and snapped the production flags like gunshots.Fifty stories above Manhattan, the air was thin and smelled of exhaust and ozone.Elion stood at the edge of the "Leap of Fa
