"So, are you going to pretend that last night didn't happen?"

Neil looked up from tying his necktie. His younger brother was framed by the doorway, looking petulant.

"Did you learn that from the women you have one-night stands with?" Neil asked. Eddie couldn’t hide his smile. "You can't be that mad if you're laughing at my stupid jokes."

Eddie shrugged. Neil wasn't too surprised; his brother was quick to anger but even quicker to forget.

"Yeah, okay, I was an asshole," Eddie said. "I mean, I didn't mean to be, let's get that straight. I was trying to do a nice thing for you. But when I saw how awful you looked, I should've just packed up the party and cleared out. And, even as much as I think you're making a mistake with her, I should've respected the fact that you brought Chelsea home, and it wasn't cool to try and get you another hook-up. So, I'm sorry."

"Either you're maturing," Neil said, feeling himself smiling as a shrewd thought occurred to him, "or Rachel's been in your ear."

"I plead the fifth."

"God bless that woman." Neil checked his cuffs as he spoke.

"I suppose this is you getting ready for going out with Chelsea again?”

“No. This is me getting ready to go out with another woman from Honey.”

Eddie’s face lit up. “Finally. Who’s the lovely lady?”

“Chelsea’s cousin, Mikaela.”

Eddie’s face was remarkable, and Neil barely kept from chuckling. And to think people accused him of having no sense of humour.

“Her cousin.” His brother followed him out onto the landing as Neil headed for the door. “Brother of mine, I don’t understand this strange and dangerous game you are playing, but having more than one woman always ends badly. Trust me on this.”
