    About this ebook

    Dating sucked. Rahat sighed and stirred xyr drink just a bit too forcefully.

    Xyr blind date had disappeared into the bar, never to return apparently. Xe wasn't what was expected, too chubby and old and unattractive.

    So xe left only to be stopped at the door by rain. Which turned the night into a good one by pure happenstance.

    Meeting someone as congenial as Chandra was a shock after xyr evening so far. She was everything xyr departed date was not.

    And, perhaps, there might be hope for a happy ending with Chandra that Rahat had given up on entirely.

    Aromantic readers will be delighted by Rahat and Chandra's story which is sure to leave you grinning by the end.

      Pink Trucks and Bow Ties

      Dating sucked. Rahat sighed and stirred xyr drink just a bit too forcefully. The ice crashed against the sides of the glass, not that anyone could hear it. Too much music played far too loudly for xem to make out the ice tinkling. Or xyr date's words for that matter. Wherever xyr date had gotten to.

      The bar was dark. Dark and loud and crowded with people more concerned with getting sex than establishing relationships. Rahat's little corner, carefully chosen because xe had a clear view of the front door, the back door, the dance floor and a solid wall against xyr back, felt ridiculously empty.

      Perhaps not a surprise given that Ash, xyr blind date of the night, had taken one look at Rahat and put on a plastic smile. Painfully fake, that smile. It didn't reach Ash's pale blue eyes or do more than contort Ash's very pale cheeks.

      And that, likely, was what had sent Ash off to hide in a different part of the bar until Rahat gave up and left. As xe was going to do if Ash didn't show up within the next five minutes. Ten at most. Xe truly did believe xe'd been dumped because xe wasn't a thin white young queer with washboard abs and a properly rainbow shirt. Potentially rainbow hair.

      No, Rahat was short, stout, dressed in tweed and wearing a very smart red plaid bowtie because bowties would always be more stylish than anything else. And xyr boss smiled when he saw Rahat's bowties. Given that xyr boss was the only thing keeping Rahat in the xyr job at the moment, pleasing xyr boss in any way possible was quite important.

      If only Lacey hadn't dumped Rahat when xe came out as nonbinary.

      They'd been together for a decade and a half, living quietly complementary lives that lacked everything to
