    About this ebook

    Henry Kavalauskas spends most of his time at YVR, Vancouver’s international airport. He works there, he hangs out there -- he knows the world is bigger than his fast-food job and his parents' living room, and he wishes he could find a guy to take him out into it. Someone to shepherd him through its teeming cities and sleep beside him in its fine hotels.

    Someone like Zack Hoffman, to be quite specific, although Henry's first encounter with the short, sexy business traveler seems destined to be his last, seeing as how it takes place in an airport men's room.

    But Zack's long-haul flight is canceled, and when their paths cross again quite by chance -- and Zack produces the key to a hotel room -- Henry seizes the moment. The room's gorgeous, Naked Zack is gorgeous, and being with him is a dream come true for Henry. Until reality barges in, chases Henry half-naked back into the airport, and raises some questions about Zack. Is he who he says he is? And, more importantly, will Henry ever see him again?

      You Again?

      by Michael P. Thomas

      Sensibly shod grandmas bundled in heavy cardigan sweaters direct handsome bearded youths in turbans and Polo shirts in the care and wrangling of hard-sided suitcases. Sons swath boxes of DVD players and peanut butter in rolls of shiny packing tape while grandsons run and tumble up the down escalator. Moms keep a collective watchful eye, but reprimand only the most rambunctious behavior, hoping the kiddos will wear themselves out and maybe everybody can get some sleep on the long trek home—to Hong Kong, to the Philippines, to Poland and to points beyond.

      The Vancouver airport is carefully and cleverly designed to echo its Pacific surroundings: wood floors evoke trees, stone walls evoke mountains, skylights are washed by sun and storms alike. Rivers of blue and green—tiles swirling in the floor, banners fluttering from the ceiling—swoop past totem poles and Tlingit art, and Henry Kavalauskas resents the triteness of the analogy even as he pushes against the current of preoccupied people, swimming upstream through the International Departures lobby in an effort to distance himself from the A&W. Which is fine as jobs go, but not an especially lush breeding ground. Shooting the rapids between luggage carts and self-check-in kiosks, sleeping backpackers and sleek business travelers, heavy-bottomed young men in sweat pants on cell phones and heavily made-up older women in fur coats and little else, he scarcely notices the burble and splash of languages. Nobody in his apartment block speaks English to their parents, and in fact Henry’s not sure he knows anyone who’s not bilingual. Besides the vaguest impression of the smell of a bakery or the clackety-clack of his grandmother’s bracelets, Henry has no memories of Lithuania, but it was his world until he was four; he’s just as foreign as any of these families that swirl past. And every bit as Canadian, for that matter, if you overlook the fact that he doesn’t give a shit about hockey.

      He falls in behind a high-heeled cabin crew from one of the Asian airlines—distinguished as such less by their appearance than by the unity of their movement through the mob—and rides their wake through the edge of the check-in chaos until he washes up in the relative calm of the pre-security clearing of gift shops and coffee carts. Okay, so maybe breeding ground is an exaggeration, but the boy-watching is way better on this side of the airport. The International terminal is too hit-or-miss, for one thing—too hectic to leisurely cruise the promising guys when departure time draws nigh; crickets chirping in an empty hall the rest of the time. Canadian Departures is okay for comings and goings, but there’s nowhere really to sit, and it’s too close to work. He likes
