Tales of an Injured Fog Rat

ALT

Lohn + lingerie = Lohngerie (lon·jer·ey) Lohn is meant to be buying fancy, frilly underwear for his wife, not himself. But he likes how it feels on him. And judging by how his best friend reacts when he tries the bralette in the store, Redd might like it even more. Now Lohn is caught between salvaging a lackluster marriage, and figuring out what... or who... he might want instead. Short on time before his wife gets home, he makes a frantic phone call to Redd, dressed up and desperate to know if he and Redd crave the same thing.

Returning to the Dollywood theme park after his second divorce, Lohn struggles to enjoy a weekend of rollercoasters and cinnamon bread the same way he once did, despite his best friend’s efforts. He’s convinced that the kind of love he craves will elude him forever. But when a couple of tourists get him and Redd to pose for a photo, an intimate opportunity presents itself, and Lohn can’t pass it up. Maybe after eight years, two divorces, and one kiss from Redd’s lips, something good might finally take.

When Redd returned to his hometown for Christmas, he only planned to see his family, then get himself and his dog back on the road again. He didn’t have plans to kiss another man under the mistletoe, nor take him home for a night, nor continue to enjoy his company in the days after, in an increasingly comfortable domestic manner. He certainly never considered that he’d want his family to meet Lohn, or, amazingly, they would actually like him. Now Redd might not want to part ways at all. But, the thing is... the longing in Redd’s heart is only one half of the equation. By his calculations, Lohn’s half doesn’t fully add up.
