“Sometimes I need to take my own advice,” I said. I looked him in the eyes. “Sometimes you just have to write. Not because your best friend will make it a hit song, but for yourself. I started out trying to write like Bob Dylan, but discovered I like writing pop now.”
“I like your version of pop,” Ethan said.
“This is crazy, but would you like to have dinner sometime?” I asked. “I know we just met but–”
“Yes!” He was bouncing from foot to foot.
“Do you like pancakes?” I asked, giving him a knowing look.
“Who doesn’t?”
“Because I know this place,” I said.
“Do they have blueberry?”

The Guava Princess
This drag queen sparkles as gayborhood brunch hostess but has a secret side-hustle selling adult toys. With strands of fruit in her wig, size thirteen heels, and a necklace made of real guava chips, she is loved by the entire community.
Stockholm Sweeties are smart sex toys that allow the user to personalize their experience. They’re also illegal because they vibrate so hard that broken bones have been reported. That’s a risk her customers are willing to take for that extra little spring in their step.
When she discovers her business partner is collecting data on their “fun-fun time” and is selling that data to the Russians, she has to decide between her growing admiration and the integrity of her customer’s privacy in the only community she ever belonged to.
