Ah, the luxury of a smoke break. For some, it is the opportunity to get away from the routine of the workplace. For others, a chance to refuel on the nicotine a cigarette provides. And for others? Well, it could be a chance to become Easily Addicted to the new co-worker who has just caught your eye.

How fun it is to read about two guys, where one of them is very forward :p. I just enjoy their encounter -- and finding out the little secret that one of them keeps. Cute office story, really!
Oh, we have a ginger... yum! And, obviously, I am NOT the only one that thinks so... Zack has a thing for redheads, also! ;D
Let me say up front that I am usually OK with a short story being... well, short! haha But, this time? I would have been a much happier camper if the story had progressed a bit further! But, it is what it is and I liked it just as it was, although, I would have LOVED it if we had gotten a to the HEA! :D
Zach and Trevor meet at work during a lunch break. Trevor is a smoker and is spending his break indulging in his vice. And Zach immediately fancies him and tries to approach him. But Trevor is just out of a bad relationship and the forward attitude of Zach finds him unready. But rethinking to the opportunity he has so easily refused, Trevor is not more sure he has made the right decision and he is waiting for a second chance.
J.M. Snyder doesn't tell us how many years old are both Zach and Trevor, but I have the feeling they are somewhere between 25 and 30. No more college student, but not still adult. Young. And Zach gives me the impression he is young and somewhat innocent. He is open and friendly, very selfconsciousness. He knows to be handsome and probably he is not used to be denied.
The story is very short, less than 30 pages, but I have liked it a lot. Zach is a wonderful character, he could be easily decipted like a spoilt brat, but he is so nice that you can't find him nasty. And Zach seems to be the classical good boy, the person you dream to find to spend the rest of your life.
