Since Pride was upon them, Max, Spence, and Nic were crazy busy preparing. Both for the influx of out of towners, and planning events to draw in crowds. Almost daily for the past few weeks, Maxine had been burning the midnight oil contacting drag queens, bands, and other performers to effortlessly pull off these events. But now she was exhausted, which was why she was lying on the couch, groaning to herself. “Spence,” she called out in a whiny tone. “Do you have to keep working tonight? You deserve a night off too. C’mon, I wanna spend tonight with you, either watching a TV show and cuddling on the couch or something else... Doesn’t that sound more fun than work?”

Finally, Spence, Nic, and Maxine all had a day off together. Of course, they made their own schedules, but to keep things at the club running smoothly, one of the three of them was often there. Except for scheduled vacations. While it was rare for Maxine herself to cook, she liked the idea of doing something nice for her partners - especially since they were out getting the rest of the groceries. So, Maxine had settled on preparing some appetizers for the boys when they got home. She had debated on just having an apron on when they got home, but instead settled on just one of Nic’s shirts and underwear. In the meanwhile, she had some music playing in the background as the stuffed mushrooms cooked in the oven and had poured herself a glass of wine.

Hearing the door open, Max perked up. “Hey, welcome back. Do either of you want some wine? Also, I cooked some stuffed mushrooms while you two were out - they should be ready soon.”
