Quinny, Focus!

By Ofelia Grand

Quincy Dean is one lucky guy. After months of virtual flirting, he’s convinced the man of his dreams is living next door. True, they’ve never spoken face-to-face, and William Johnson has never posted a picture of himself, but how many William Johnson’s could there be?

Quincy is positive the two of them would be great together. But if he's ever going to get the chance to convince Will of that fact, he’s going to need to do it before his perfect man figures out he’s too good for Quincy's little corner of Whiteport and disappears from his real life forever.

But how do you woo someone when you have to stay six feet apart? Direct messages are great, but they aren't very romantic. And when Quincy begins to notice that Will’s messages don’t always match up with what he's seeing through his blinds, he worries that even online he and his dream guy are drifting apart. Six feet or not, it might be time to ask Will out on a date.

Ofelia Grand

Ofelia Gränd is Swedish through and through. She is constantly thinking of stories she would love to write. Anything and everything is a source of inspiration that has her lost in thought, staring off into space, in no time at all. Sometimes she turns a street corner, and sees a different world. She is often walking around mumbling to herself and her intended characters. Every so often she is painting mental pictures of their appearances, or wishing that she was better at Photoshop, because she knows exactly what the cover of the story in her mind should look like. Real life, however, interferes all too often, and the stories mostly remains unwritten. In real life, Ofelia is living with her husband and their three children in a small town on the southwestern Swedish coast. When she isn’t a stay-at-home mom, she is teaching Swedish and Swedish as a second language to teenagers and adults. She has been thinking about teaching English, but since she isn’t fluent in the language, she is sticking to the one she knows well. Therefore, she, more than anyone, is a bit perplexed about why she thought it would be a good idea to try to write in English. But, she’ll probably come to her senses— sometime.

Quincy Dean read the reply on his screen and chuckled. William—‘everyone calls me Will’—had sent him a sleepy sticker. Standing, he peeked through his window, across the U-shaped yard between their apartment buildings, and saw the lights go off, one after another, in Will’s apartment.

Will had moved in back in February. Quincy had put on a thick winter jacket and made himself a cup of coffee to have on his tiny balcony while he watched him carry stuff. He would’ve walked over there to offer a helping hand had it not been for him waiting for a call from his boss.

There had been no friends helping Will, most of the stuff he’d carried up the three flights of stairs himself, and he’d had a sofa and a bed delivered from IKEA. Quincy had watched that too.

IKEA didn’t strike him as a place where Will would shop, too cheap, so Quincy had decided it must’ve been a bad breakup that made Will move here. No one moved to these worn apartments on the outskirts of Whiteport unless they had to get hold of something in a hurry, and if you didn’t have a bed, IKEA was a quick solution.

Quincy had lived here for four years, and to say he thrived might be wrong, but it was doable. The rent was low, and Mrs. Hernandez, who lived next to him, was quiet and never complained. Since there only were three stories, he didn’t have anyone living above him.

But a guy like William Johnson wouldn’t want to live here forever. Dandelion Road in Whiteport was a quick stop. The shiny black BMW, the immaculate suits, the styled hair, the way Will walked as if he owned the world…Quincy was aware of spending a little too much time watching his hot neighbor, but he wanted to
