BLURB:
It's been a
month since their unconventional meeting when Aiden wrestled Finn to the ground
and had him arrested for kidnapping. After accepting Aiden's heartfelt apology,
which included jumping into the dolphin pool with Finn—even though he couldn't
swim—Finn has spent the last month getting to know Aiden and his daughter,
Kaylee, on a series of play-dates. But
now it's time for grown-ups only, in a restaurant that doesn't have a kid's
menu. His attraction to Aiden has blossomed over the last month and Finn
desperately hopes the other man sees him as more than a play-date.
Aiden is as
nervous as Finn at the prospect of the first 'real' date he's had since Charlie
Sheen's second to last comeback. When Aunt Patti suggests he has a little nip of Bourbon before Finn picks him up, his arm doesn't take much twisting.
Unfortunately, he conveniently forgets the antibiotics he is currently taking
and becomes a little less and less inhibited as the evening goes on.

I guess I missed the deadline but I thought I'd share anyway.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite zoo animal is the otter. They are so fun to watch and they watch back, although it’s even more fun to see them in the wild!
When I was in a zoo in Zimbabwe, we went to the reptile area. Our guide was friends with one of the zookeepers and pushed him to show us the snakes. Signs were posted warning everyone to stay away from the enclosures because the snakes were poisonous. Well, the zookeeper went into several of the little areas and picked up snakes and showed us. Then he hopped into the containment that held the Black Mamba.
Now a Black Mamba has one of the most deadly toxins of any snake. It can kill in less than 20 minutes. Black Mamba bites are nearly always fatal. Plus, the snake moves exceedingly fast, capable of moving 10–12 mph per second. So when this guy stepped in the cage, we all froze in horror. Then, instead of grabbing a snake pole to handle the creature, he reached down and grabbed it behind the neck.
But wait, there’s more: he missed and the snake lunged at him, narrowly missing. Then he TRIED AGAIN! He was able to get the snake and force it to open its jaws so we could see inside. By then I was too terrified to look closely. I didn’t relax until he had safely left the enclosure. A feat I wasn’t sure he’d be able to do. After that, we quickly moved over to the iguana cage where holding was encouraged and completely safe. Whew!
I have many more stories about zoos and game preserves in Africa, but this one just scared me again merely thinking about it. I think I’m going to go do something safe and calm like cuddle my dogs.
