25. Coveting

Roy adored Gracia. Really, he did. The woman was absolutely wonderful; sweet with just a touch of attitude which was the perfect compliment to Maes's worshipping nature. She baked a mean apple pie, was probably the kindest person he'd ever met and, while she wasn't exactly the sexy goddess of sexiness that Maes constantly made her out to be, she was awfully pretty.

The problem was that Maes was over exuberant, especially when it came to his photographs. He was born to be a husband and father, anyone could see. But whenever the older man would hang over him, gushing over his gorgeous wife, Roy would be mentally willing his friend to press him to the nearest surface and kiss his breath away.
