Blue Eyes and Sweet Peach Pie — Joanne McClean

This is Hagen's P.O.V. from the short story 'Blue Eyes and Sweet Peach Pie.'

When Hagen Stevenson meets his brother for dinner, he thinks it's just going to be a quiet meal.
However, he soon realises that his quiet night out is going to get a lot more interesting.
Enter Miss Redhead.
After witnessing a girl with red hair getting dumped by her boyfriend, Hagen chases after her to make sure she's okay.
Intrigued by Miss Redhead, he follows her to a bar and tries to keep his distance to avoid freaking her out.
However, the more time he spends with her, the harder it is to stay away.
So, after promising her one hell of a birthday, he finds himself on one crazy adventure.
Two seedy bars, drunken karaoke, a case of mistaken identity and one car vandalisation later, Hagen knows there's something special about Lorelai Simmons.
However, when she's too drunk to tell him where she lives, he has no choice but to take her home.
And that's only the beginning of his problems.
When Lorelai wakes up, she can't remember him or what happened the night before - not to mention that she's lost her bag.
So, after agreeing to refresh her memory along the way, he discovers his biggest problem ...
Lorelai thinks he's gay!
