Kelvin, son of the famous megachurch pastor Eli Gemstone, paced, checked his cell phone, and paced again. His boyfriend Keefe left at 8:00 am to go rollerblading with their brother-in-la w BJ. They went roller-blading every Friday, a sort of bonding time and chance to get away from the Gemstone drama. Except they were always back by 10:00. It was now after 2:00. No calls, no texts, and Kelvin's texts to him went unanswered.
"Keefe is a grown man," he told himself. "He doesn't need to check in with me. Maybe he and BJ decided to go shopping and have lunch."
He paced some more. "Maybe his cell phone died, so he can't call." When he bought Keefe the cell phone, he considered installing "friend tracker" app, but that would be too much control. Keefe moved in two years ago with nothing; everything he owned was a gift or came from the joint checking account. Gulp. Maybe he felt like a kept boy, trapped in the mansion, an extension of the Gemstones. Could he have....left?
No way! Kelvin was not going to check the joint account, to see if Keefe made any big withdrawals. Even thinking it was ridiculous.
