I’m the oldest, and my youngest sister is 11.
Your mom was pregnant when you were a senior in high school?!
She sure was. By then, I was used to it. My sister is getting married in a few weeks actually.
That’s awesome! So, I take it, you’ll be going home then?
Of course I will. Wouldn’t miss it.
Do you like the guy?
She wouldn’t be marrying him if I didn’t!
This makes me laugh.Protective older brothervibe is kind of hot.
I should add that she’s marrying my best friend from high school, Aiden, so that helps.
Oh! Did you have to have that “I’ll kill you if you hurt her” talk?
Absolutely. Only for show though. He’s a good guy. Couldn’t have asked for anyone better.
Then are you the best man?
Of course!
Are they doing a formal tux or casual cowboy look?
A little bit of both. I’ll have a tux on but a cowboy hat too.
City guy in a suit with a cowboy hat. Nice! Do you wear one here?
Um, no. Not really a look that fits in downtown.
LOL! You don’t want to stand out?
Nah. I’m good.
So, country boy living in the big city, but not wanting to stand out in any way … Would you say that describes you?
Yeah, pretty much.
I smile at our conversation, wondering who I’m talking to and what I should say next when he sends another message.
On that note, my sister is calling, so I have to cut this short. She’s coming to New York for her final dress fitting, so we need to discuss the details. I’ve enjoyed talking to you though. Would it be OK if I texted you again after work tomorrow?
Yeah, why not?
Wow. Don’t sound too enthused or anything.
I laugh out loud at his message.
LOL! Sorry. I meant that as a good thing. I enjoyed our conversation, too, so, yes, please feel free to contact me again tomorrow.
OK, that’s better. Have a good night.
You too.
