18. Scream
Roy heard it before he'd even reached for the doorknob: A scream -- Edward's voice -- from inside their house. In a flash he'd thrown the door open, only taking a moment to realize that his lover wasn't in the living room. He darted up the stairs, tossing aside his briefcase and trench coat, pulling a glove from his pocket and tugging it on.
He could have fallen over laughing at what he found in their bedroom if his heart hadn't been on the verge of an attack. Besides, Ed probably wouldn't have appreciated him being amused that their puppy was surrounded by the shreds of what he presumed was his lover's report.
