   Summary

   “I’m married,” he says.

   The reaction is instantaneous. Everybody turns to look at him. The expressions range from confused to shocked to straight up disbelief. He does his best not to shrink down into his seat.

   “...To a woman?” Julian chances, being the first to speak.

   Captain James Hutchins (The Captain to his co-workers) has been working at Button House PLC for a year. The job is... well, it's okay. However, the office does not know about his husband, who has just been re-stationed for six months. When his co-workers find out about his husband Anthony's existence, they become curious.

   The Captain is about to have lots of questions to answer.
