mouth as she coughed.
    “Are you okay?”
    She nodded and pointed toward the door as her coughing slowly subsided.
    Kimberly swiveled in her seat. “I don’t believe it.”
    “You didn’t tell him we were coming here?” Sue heard the accusation in her tone and winced.
    “No.” Kimberly turned back around, frowning. “I told Phil we were going out and he should go out with his friends instead of staying home. Does it really matter that they picked here?”
    “ Yes. It matters. I can’t seem to get away from that guy. He keeps showing up everywhere I go.”
    “I don’t understand . I think this is kinda perfect. You need another opportunity of a chance meeting for him to ask you out.”
    “ I found out today that he’s Keely’s brother. Did you know that?”
    “No. I didn’t. How would I? Is that really a problem?”
    Sue nodded. “I t could be. Though Keely did say she didn’t have a problem with me dating him.”
    “Just because they’re here doesn’t mean they’ll see us. We can have our fun and slip out without them noticing.”
    “I don’t think that ’s going to happen. Another guy has joined them and he spotted us.”
    “Really?” Kimbely turned around again and waved. “ Oh, that’s Brandon. Did you meet him the other night?”
    “No. I didn’t. Is he in the wedding too?”
    “Yeah, he’s the best man.”
     
     
    “Finally you get here,” Brandon said, coming up to Alex and Phil as they waited at the hostess stand to be seated. “What took you so long? I came straight from work and figured I’d be the one late.”
    “I took a short cut .” Alex frowned, crossing his arms over his chest.
    “You mean you took what you thought was a short cut. A lot has changed while you were gone,” Phil retorted.
    “It looks like we aren’t the only ones here tonight. I just spotted Kimberly and her cute sister at a booth,” Brandon said.
    “You’re kidding?” Phil stepped around him to get a better look into the dining area. “Well they…. I had no idea they were coming here. Maybe we should go somewhere else.”
    “Why should we do that?” Brandon asked. “You two aren’t fighting are you? Did you call the wedding off?”
    “No,” Phil barked.
    Alex smiled. “ Then should we go say hi?”
    “No.”
    Phil’s quick response surprised him. He’d figured his friend would have wanted to at least say hello to his fiancée. 
    “Okay then. Should we sit at the bar or grab a table?” he asked as the hostess arrived.
    “Booth.” Brandon and Phil chimed in unison.
    The hostess picked up menus and wrapped utensils from the stand and flashed them a bright smile. “Right this way, gentlem en.”
    Alex waved at Sue as they walked past their booth. She half-smiled at him and quickly looked away as a flush crept in her cheeks.
    “Phil,” Kimberly said, causing his friend to stop.
    “Go on, I’ll catch up.”
    “Sure.” Brandon grinned and punched Alex in the arm. “I bet he’ll ask them to join us.”
    “ I don’t know. He was pretty adamant about our guys’ night out.”
    “Don’t let that fool you. He has been so wrapped up in her since they started dating I was shocked he even wanted to go out tonight.”
    “Really?”
    Brandon nodded.
    That sure didn’t sound like the Phil he had known before he left town because that guy was always going out on the weekends to have a good time. e’sh

 
    The hostess showed them to a round corner booth large enough to seat six. She laid down the menus, smiled, and left.
    “Apparently the hostess thinks so too. Why else would she seat us at a table larger than what we need?” Bra ndon sat and slid to the center of the round.
    Alex sat down and scooted in, shaking his head. When he looked up he saw Phil and Kimberly holding hands and walking toward their table together. Sue followed close behind them.
    “I hope you don’t mind us joining you .” Kimberly slid in beside Brandon and Phil joined her.
    “Not a problem. Is it
