Shooting the Curl (Don't Read in the Closet Events)

Dear Author,
I’m not sure what to do. For three years, Little Dude has been my whole life. I made the choice to adopt as a single father, and I’m darn good at being a dad. Except, well, there’s this person I can’t get out of my mind, which is weird because I haven’t given a thought to sex and relationships since Little Dude and I became Team One. The other weird thing? He’s a guy. Yeah. And seems the total opposite of me. Plus, I think he’s straight, but I swear sometimes he looks at me and is thinking about how good we’d be together. It makes me a little nervous. And a little hot.
Whatever I do, I have to put Little Dude first. Hey, I don’t even know if this guy likes kids!
