Much to Aaron’s surprise, Thomas actually came to the gathering. And he smells like sweat. You’re embarrassing us and disgusting everyone else.

“You should have called us after you retired from the military. We’re your friends.” Howard sat down beside Thomas and wrapped an arm around him. He didn’t seem to be averse to Thomas at all. In fact, he was friendly.
