LOL: Laugh Out Loud (After Oscar, #2)(94)
He barely had the words out of his mouth before I tackled him onto his back on the ground and kissed the fuck out of his face. “Yes,” I told him. “Yesyesyesyes!” I repeated, just to make sure my answer was clear.
And from somewhere deep in the trees, we heard the unmistakable sound of a shutter clicking.
For once I was glad. The photo of our engagement would join the other invaluable memories framed on our walls, memories we had permanent records of thanks to the media: our carriage ride, Nugget’s butt walking through the front door of our brownstone, and the famous kiss in the Vermont snow. It was a good thing our house had so many walls because I planned on spending the rest of our lives adding more photos to the collection.
Our life together was a joyful adventure, and we were living it like no one was watching.
And later that night when Oscar texted Roman to explain why he hadn’t made it to the party, he summed it up perfectly:
Oscar: Congratulations!! I take full credit for the two of you, you know.
Roman: I’d have given you credit if you’d been here, but alas… you snooze you lose. BTW, what happened? You said you were on your way?
Oscar: There was a thing. With a guy.
Roman: Isn’t there always?
Oscar: Shut up, I don’t want to talk about it.
Roman: Well, you missed Cyndee teaching my nieces three card Monte, our new neighbor showing up with a gift of dancing chickens, Lolo wearing one of those clear raincoats with nothing on under it, and your sister’s newfound declaration of sobriety that lasted all of ten seconds.
Oscar: And? What else is new? This is your life now LOL.
Roman: OMG, I just had a horrible thought.
Oscar: … and?
Roman: What if LOL stood for Larry/Oscar/Lolo? Like a naughty, nasty sex sandwich…
Oscar: STFU.
Roman: Heh, gotta repeat that one to Scotty—BRB.

Letter from Lucy & Molly
Dear Reader,
Thank you so much for reading LOL: Laugh Out Loud, book two in the new “After Oscar” series! We would love it if you would take a few minutes to review this book on Amazon. Reader reviews really do make a difference and we appreciate every single one of them.
Lucy and Molly are pen names of a real pair of sisters who are excited to collaborate on our first ever joint project. While Molly has been a full-time author for a decade, this is her second novel in the gay romance genre.
There are five stories planned in the After Oscar series, so please stay tuned. Up next is the story of what happens when James’ Richard from IRL turns out to be a Dick. We’ll Be Right Back with that story later this year.
Be sure to follow us on Amazon to be notified of new releases, and look for us on Facebook for sneak peeks of upcoming stories.

About Molly Maddox
Molly Maddox is the romance pen name for a New York Times bestselling author who started writing at an early age because her older sister, Lucy Lennox, was a writer and Molly wanted to be like Lucy in all ways (she still does).
When she’s not writing, Molly likes to cook, read, take pictures of her dog and cat cuddling, and finds an odd satisfaction in folding sheets so that the top sheet is indistinguishable from the bottom sheet.
She loves all things romance and is grateful every day she gets to write for a living.
