The Loyal Opposition
by Keith Bunin

Lee is a chef. Jesse is a farmer, hunter, and fisherman. Milo works in international conflict resolution but he's also an expert bartender. The three of them met in college and they've been crashing in and out of each other's lives ever since. When Lee summons Milo and Jesse to her hometown to help her open the restaurant that's been her lifelong dream, they're all forced to confront the promises they've made each other, the wounds they've inflicted on each other, and the fierce love and idealism that still binds them.
