    " Jane Francis ,” Marco said. He turned to face her, shaking his head. “There are some things in the gay community that are still happening. Even though we've come very far, there are still young gay men and women out there being treated as if there is something wrong with them and they don't have the options gay men like me have always had. I find it appalling when people don't think these things can still happen to gay people."
    Then he turned to Yves and said, “I have to apologize for my associate. She doesn't understand certain realities in life. She spends a great deal of her time reading carefree gay novels that focus more on meaty nuts and other cliches than real issues, and she thinks everything in the gay community is just perfect..."
    But Jane Francis cut Marco off. “Hold on,” she said. “You don't have to apologize for me, buddy.” Jane Francis stepped around Marco and walked over to where Yves was sitting. She wiped a tear from her eye, then placed her palm on his shoulder and said, “I'm sorry if I sounded a little rough, kid. It's just the way I am. I didn't mean anything by it."
    "I know you didn't,” Yves said, reaching for Jane Francis's hand. He looked up at her and smiled. “I'm okay, Ms. Francis."
    "You can call me Jane Francis ."
    He nodded and squeezed her hand.
    Jane Francis smiled at him and patted his hand, then turned to Marco and said, “I read all kinds of LGBT fiction, not just carefree gay novels about meaty nuts. I've even read The Front Runner , and you know it.” Then she put her hands on her hips and stormed back into the bathroom, slamming the door even harder this time.
    A second after that, while Marco was still laughing at Jane Francis's outburst, Frazier's cell phone rang. He pulled it out of his suit jacket and opened it to see who was calling. He listened for a moment, answered a few yes and no questions, then closed the phone. When he put it back into his pocket, he frowned at Marco and said, “I have to leave for Atlanta tonight. There's a problem with the new line and I have to be there to make sure everything is right."
    Marco rolled his eyes and took a deep breath. He knew Frazier was talking about a new line of menswear they were selling on the Home Value Network. Home Value was the largest home shopping television venue in the world, and the company had secured a deal with them to sell their new line of menswear. Due to the fact Marco was already committed to doing the TV reality show, he wasn't part of the deal yet. But he knew once the show was over, he'd be modeling Frazier's new line on television. The people at Home Value wanted both Frazier and Marco to actually help sell the line on the air. Though all the designers were doing this nowadays, Marco couldn't help thinking there was something demeaning about it. It made him wonder where his career as a model was going. But more than that: where his life was going.
    "Can't someone else deal with it until tomorrow?” Marco said. “We're supposed to be celebrating tonight. It's not every day I win the Rendell Vista award.” Normally, Marco wouldn't have made such a big thing out of winning an award. But he couldn't stop worrying about the fact that he was aging and he'd reached his peak as a model. This might be the last time he'd ever receive something as important as the Rendell Vista.
    Frazier stood up and shook his head. “I'm sorry,” he said. “I can't help it. I have to be there. It's important. This is a huge deal and I want it to be perfect.” He put his arms around Marco and kissed the top of his head. “I'll make it up to you when I get home. I promise."
    Marco took a deep breath and sighed. This wasn't something new. They had been together long enough for Marco to know and understand their intense, competitive business was demanding and it often controlled their lives. There had been times when Marco had to cancel personal plans with Frazier because of his work schedule, so he
