“Love you, Maybe,” he says, and the smile in his voice only makes it worse

“Love you too,” I croak out

He keeps guiding us around the rooether

But Bruce, being the Chatty Cathy he is, doesn’t give his mouth one moment’s rest

“Beautiful wedding, huh, Maybe?”

“Definitely”

“You having a nice time?”

No “Yep”

“Me too,” he agrees “Did you get a chance to say hello to your aunt Ethel?”

“Not yet”

“You need to”

I sigh and sh questions to completely distract me “I know, Dad”

“What about your uncle Joe?”

“He’s on my list”

“Good, good,” he responds “Just make sure you make the rounds Everyone is excited to see you”

“I will, Dad Promise”

“I had a real nice chat with Milo’s cousin,” he adds, and it’s that co hiht in the eyes “She showed hter My God, Maybe, that little baby is actually cute Doesn’t look at all like Wallace Shawn, liketo give your randkids”

“Wait…who are you talking about?”

“Milo’s cousin Emory”

I scrunch up my nose “Should I knoho that is?”

He nods toward the other end of the room, where Milo stands by his stupidly beautiful date

“She’s right there”

What in the hell?

“She’s his cousin?”

“Yep” Bruce nods, completely oblivious as to why ed “She’s a real ballbuster Sweet and sassy And apparently, quite good at finagling a way to get herself a night out without the old ball and chain Reht after we had Evan”

That pain in h it and force myself to finish this dance with my dad

But I can’t forcewith an overwhel number of questions

That woman, Milo’s date, is his cousin?
