Former Associates

It had been about 10 years later when he noticed an article in his Sunday NY Times, the Arts and Leisure section. "A Shining New Star," the headline read accompanied by photos of the artist and his "husband." Apparently the artist in question and S.O. had found a same sex marriage friendly state to tie the knot.

Yada yada, the article went on about how successful the happy couple are, pictures of family including, and would you effing believe?  Children.

More pictures of the handsome couple who were smiling brightly for the camera and for each other, the love and devotion obvious.

And a few more lines about “former associations” including his own name.  Well shit!  Any publicity is good publicity so they say.

Ethan tossed the paper into the trash.
