Rewinding My Reaper Boyfriend 186: The Morning After the Storm
The morning sun hit the deck with a brilliance that felt like an apology for the violence of the night before.Elion sat on the railing, nursing a mug of coffee. The air smelled of washed pine needles and salt. Below, the ocean was calm, a sheet of blue glass that betrayed nothing of the fury it had held twelve hours ago."Assessment," Cale said, limping onto the deck.He was wearing sweatpants and a t-shirt. His right hand was wrapped in a bulky, blood-stained bandage. His left hand gripped a cane—a sturdy wooden one he had found in the closet, replacing the broomstick."The roof is still there," Elion reported. "The windows are intact. The car is not crushed by a tree.""Acceptable outcome," Cale said. He leaned against the railing, taking the weight off his bad leg."How is the hand?""It is throbbing. The pulse is distinct. 70 beats per minute.""It's infected, Cale. I saw it when I changed the dressing. It's red. It's hot.""Inflammation is a natural immune response.""Pus is not

The barometer on the living room wall was an antique brass instrument that Alex must have bought at a flea market. It looked decorative, but Cale had been staring at it for twenty minutes with the intensity of a bomb disposal technician.The needle tapped against the glass. Falling."It is dropping," Cale announced.Elion looked up from the sofa. He was reading a paperback novel, his feet tucked under him, a mug of tea steaming on the coaster Cale had insisted they use."What is dropping?" Elion asked. "The stock market? We don't have stocks.""The barometric pressure," Cale said, tapping the glass again. "It has dropped ten millibars in the last hour. That indicates a rapid cyclogenesis.""In English, Cale.""A storm," Cale said. "A big one.""It's the Pacific Northwest in November. Storms are the default setting.""This is not default," Cale insisted. He turned from the wall and walked to the window. "The wind velocity is increasing. I can hear the shear against the siding. It is...
Rewinding My Reaper Boyfriend 184: The Logistics of Dinner
The notification on the phone was a simple ping, but in the quiet of the A-frame house, it sounded like a victory trumpet.Cale sat at the kitchen table, staring at the screen of Elion's burner phone. He had synced his new email account to it."Report," Elion said, coming in from the deck with two mugs of coffee."The wire transfer is complete," Cale said. "Five thousand dollars. Retainer fee.""It went through?""It is in the account. The asset is liquid."Elion set the mugs down. He wrapped his arms around Cale’s neck from behind, resting his chin on Cale’s shoulder."We have money," Elion whispered. "Real money. Earned money.""It is currency," Cale corrected. "Exchangeable for goods and services.""It's freedom, Cale. It means we aren't running on fumes anymore. We can buy gas. We can buy food. We can buy... I don't know, curtains?""The current window treatments are adequate.""They're dusty sheets tacked up with nails.""They provide privacy. Functionality is one hundred percent
Rewinding My Reaper Boyfriend 183: The Resume
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 notebook. He was sitting on the floor, sorting through receipts from the hardware store."That's what cursors do, Cale. They wait for input.""It is aggressive," Cale muttered. "It implies a deadline.""There is a deadline. We need income before the cash runs out. You said you wanted a job.""I want a function," Cale corrected. "The job is merely the vehicle for the function.""Okay. Well, to get the vehicle, you need a resume. A CV. A list of things you haven't messed up."Cale frowned. He typed
Rewinding My Reaper Boyfriend 182: The Unemployment Crisis
The sound of chopping was precise, rhythmic, and terrifyingly fast.Thwack. Thwack. Thwack. Thwack.Elion sat at the kitchen table, nursing a cup of tea and a box of tissues. His nose was red, his throat felt like it had been scrubbed with steel wool, and he was wrapped in the same quilt Cale had vacated three days ago."Cale," Elion croaked. "What are you doing?"Cale stood at the counter. He was wearing an apron over his black t-shirt. He was wielding a chef's knife like a scalpel. Before him lay a pile of carrots that had been julienned into strips so uniform they looked like they had been measured with calipers."I am prepping," Cale said without breaking his rhythm."Prepping for what? A stir-fry for an army?""Dinner," Cale said. "I am optimizing the vegetable intake. Vitamin A is essential for immune system recovery. Since you are compromised, I must increase the dosage.""I have a cold, Cale. I don't need five pounds of carrots.""Surplus can be stored. Pickled. Or frozen."Th
Rewinding My Reaper Boyfriend 181: The First Cold
The Oregon coastline was beautiful. Rugged cliffs, crashing waves, and a constant, misty rain that wrapped the A-frame house in a grey hug.It was perfect.Except for the sound coming from the bedroom.Hhh-choo!It was a small sound. A sneeze.Elion looked up from his laptop. He was sitting at the kitchen table, trying to organize the notes for his memoir, which was currently titled How to Marry a Reaper and Survive."Cale?" Elion called out. "Are you okay?"There was no answer. Just a rustling of sheets and a low, miserable groan.Elion stood up. He walked to the bedroom.Cale was lying on the bed, buried under three quilts. Only his nose and eyes were visible. His nose was red. His eyes were watery and miserable."I am dying," Cale whispered.Elion stopped in the doorway. He crossed his arms, leaning against the frame."You're dying?" Elion asked."System failure," Cale reported, his voice thick and congested. "Respiratory blockage. Thermal regulation offline. The heat... it is esca

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

The morning sun that flooded Suite 1 felt less like a new beginning and more like an interrogation lamp.Elion sat on the edge of the bed, staring at his socks. They were mismatched—one grey, one black. A small, chaotic detail that seemed to sum up the absolute wreckage of his emotional state.He f

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
