“Because I don’t need to embarrass myself any further.” He glared at Trey, who mimed zipping his lips.
“Blaine,” Tam said. “You said you’d go with me.”
“I’m regretting a lot of things I said I’d do,” he said.
“What? What else are you regretting?”
“The wedding is on Saturday, right?”
“Oh, right,” Tam said. “Be sure to get your suit at the tailor’s too.”
“I picked it up yesterday,” he said. “But thanks for the reminder.”
“So… What are you wearing tonight?” she asked again, a playful note in her voice.
Blaine could admit that he’d had a great couple of weeks with Tam. They hadn’t been arguing as much, though they went back and forth about some topics from time to time. She claimed to be working on an amazing new saddle, but she wouldn’t let him into her shop to see it.
“Blaine?”
“The same stuff I wear when we go out to dinner,” he said. “We’re doing that, too, right?”
“Do you want to go to dinner?”
“I don’t want to make dinner,” he said.
“I’ll make dinner,” she said. “I’m already home from the shop.”
“You are?” Blaine glanced at the clock on the dashboard. “It’s three-ten.”
“I finished the saddle.” Her pride and satisfaction with herself echoed in her voice.
“Can I see it?”
“I brought it home,” she said. “So come by when you’re done with your brothers.”
Blaine suddenly wanted to be done with his brothers, but he kept driving toward the tuxedo shop. “All right. See you in a bit.”
He ended the call and looked at Trey. “I hate you, by the way.”
“Come on,” Trey said, chuckling again. “You and line dancing.” His laughter grew. “That’s funny.”
“Tam wanted to do it,” he said.
“Yeah.” Trey grinned at him. “Are we gonna talk about you and Tam?”
“No,” Blaine said. “No, we are not.”
“Come on,” Trey said. “I just want to know how it happened.”
“I asked her out,” Blaine said. “That’s usually how it works, Trey.”
Trey looked thoughtful. “Just ask her out.”
Blaine heard something in his brother’s voice. “Who do you want to ask out?”
Trey drew in a deep breath through his nose. “I…think I’ll think about it a little bit more first.”
“I won’t tell anyone.”
