Office Visit — J.M. Snyder

As a doctor, Lee can't always take off from work as easily as his lover Curt, a college professor, can. At the end of the semester, Curt wants to celebrate another year behind him with a quiet evening at home but finds Lee still at the office. When his lover rushes him off the phone to see to a patient, Curt decides to make an appointment of his own to finally catch up with Lee.

These characters appear in my novella-length story, JUST WHAT THE DOCTOR ORDERED, published by Aspen Mountain Press. For those keeping score, I wrote the novella first, then rewrote the beginning scene to jump-start this short story, which was later published by Ruthie's Club and is now available as a stand-alone e-book.

NOTE: This story also appears in my collection SHORTS.
