![]() If She Were Blind
Goodreads / Amazon / Barnes & Noble / iBooks / Kobo -- EXCERPT: I glance past Dean’s shoulder as a man close to my dad’s age takes nervous steps closer and closer to Dean. Once he’s in his space, he taps his back. Dean whips around to face him. “Excuse me, are you Dean Martinez?” His eyes are full of suspicion as he studies the stranger. “Um, why?” “It’s Dwayne. We’ve been chatting on Match.com and are supposed to meet up here at seven.” Dean’s shoulders slouch and his expression turns sympathetic. “Sweetie, you’ve been catfished.” “Been what?” “I’m Dean, but I’m not on any dating site.” “Really? Because,” the older gentleman displays Dean’s dating profile on his phone for him, “you’re right here.” Dean grabs the phone and starts scrolling through the profile. “‘Male seeking male, any race or religion, age fifty-five and older.’ Seriously? ‘I love me a sweaty old gay with that curly salt-and-pepper chest hair. The longer and curlier the better. I want it poking above those top shirt buttons. Oh, yeah, let it blow in the wind while we drive down PCH in your Lincoln sedan with the windows cracked. In search of someone I can raise a family of hypoallergenic, small breed dogs with, someone who doesn’t have all their original joints. I’m so over all these sexy twinks who just want me for my hot bod. Looking for a real man to settle down with, preferably in a gay-friendly, fifty-five and older community.’” I can’t help but give Dean’s blind date a once over. The poor guy is buttoning the second to top button over his ungroomed, grey chest hair as Dean reads. His upper lip looks like the outside of a cold drink on a summer day. Dean gives him back the phone and drops his forehead into his hand. “Cal, did you let Estlyn go to the library?” “Um…” He glares at me then chastises, “Cal?” “Yes?” How was I supposed to know she’d use a computer to catfish unsuspecting old gays? He turns to the humiliated older gentleman with confident compassion. “Sorry, hon. My friend set you up. Best of luck to finding a man half your age to raise that family of dogs with.” ![]()
