Today, Cory is questioned by his ex, the detective investigating the body found on the hill overlooking the fairgrounds…
* * *
Cory eased down in his chair, though he continued to glare at Michael. “You think the carnival is involved.”
“I have to check every possibility.”
“If you think I’ll be your tool to spy on them, think again. I’ve tasted your brand of control long enough. It’s not happening again.”
Michael blinked, clearly startled, but before he could answer, two men entered the coffee shop, catching Cory’s attention. Michael glanced at them over his shoulder and sucked in a breath.

Cory loves the carnival. Even as an adult, the lights and color, flashing rides, popcorn and cotton candy, all hold a special allure for him. Especially this year, when the men seem extraordinarily beautiful and Jules, the barker for the Mirror Maze, ran away with his heart from the moment Cory first saw him in his purple-satin and leather uniform.
For Jules, the carnival is life, the other carnies his family, friends, lovers. He can’t think of anywhere else he’d rather be. But the carnival has a secret that, if found out, could bring an end to their ideal existence. What with falling in love with a local man and a detective dogging their heels about the body found on the hill above the fairgrounds, his perfect life just might be changing, and he has no idea if it is for the better.

Oh, come on. You can’t stop there! Who came in?
Oh, you’ll see 🙂
Oh, my…that’s quite the intriguing accusation!
Yeah, things are usually tense between them.
Oh dear. Methinks it’s some of the carnival folk, maybe even Jules.
Also, oof, questioned by the ex, even in an “official” capacity.
Cory really doesn’t want to be there.
Uh oh! And what a place to leave us hanging! 😁❤️
Heeheehee
Interesting!
Thanks!
I’ve tasted your brand of control long enough. It’s not happening again.” – that sounds ominous
Yeah, they weren’t very compatible after all.
Ooooo, dying to know who came in! (bites nails) XD
You’ll see! 😀
I’m intrigued by so much in this snippet!
Oh yea! That’s what I’m trying for.
