And here's the last part of the full scene from The City War, my new novella from Riptide Press!

***

“Your new horse-boy. Aristus implied he was offering more than his services as a groom. He’s handsome. Thinking of throwing me over?”

“For a horse-boy?” Brutus laughed. “I think not. I felt bad for him, that’s all. His father fought in the civil war. For the other side,” he added, and nudged Cassius’s thigh with his knee.

You'd have thrown in with Caesar too, if you weren't so damned ambitious. )
R always seems to end up here when Jacques Pepin's cooking show is on. Either that or there's a channel on local TV that plays nothing but Jacques Pepin. It's possible, he's popular.



R: So who would you pick to play Peepin?
Me: You mean like, in the biopic?
R: Yeah. Who's your pick?
Me: Daniel Craig --
R: NO!
Me: -- in twenty years.
R: Acceptable but wrong.
Me: Who are you so sure would play him?
R: William Shatner.
Me: ....I concede.
