Chapter 11

Blaine pulled the chair out for his mom and waited until she was seated before taking his seat opposite his son. Warmth filled his chest with that acknowledgment. Adam was his and they were making progress, building a relationship. Granted it was shaky, although not hostile like Abe and Donald’s, but he thought they were progressing nicely after a week.

“I am so happy to meet both of you,” his mother said into the silence.

Abe nodded and picked up his menu.

“Thank you,” Adam said as he picked up his as well.

“I can’t get over it. You are the only ones in the family to have eyes like mine. So nice to see.”

Adam didn’t look up as he nodded.

“I’m happy to meet you as well,” Frank said as he opened his menu. “Nice to have older nephews in the family. I hope we get a chance to talk one on one later. I’m staying with my step-daughter and her family while here, but my schedule is open.”

“Okay,” Adam mumbled.

“Sorry I’m late, had something come up at the last minute,” Red said as he approached the table and pulled out the last empty chair.

“No problem,” Donald said. “We just got seated and haven’t ordered yet.” He turned slightly to Abe and Adam, who sat next to each other. “Abe, Adam, this is my brother, Benjamin, but everyone calls him Red.. He lives here. Red, this is my son Abe and his brother Adam.”

Red tipped his head toward the teens. “Hiya Abe. I met Adam at the construction office a while back. Good to see you again.”

Abe frowned and looked at his brother. “You met him?”

“I guess so. I don’t remember,” Adam said haltingly. “Which construction company was it? I applied to a few of them.”

“Three X. I walked in while Ross was interviewing you.”

Adam’s face cleared. “Oh yeah, he was mad at you about that. I forgot.”

“Why didn’t you work with us?” Red asked the question Blaine had wondered about.

Adam shrugged. “It was that or landscaping. I like working in the ground, so I took that job.”

Red glanced at Blaine as he nodded. “Well, if you ever change your mind, let me know and I’ll get you on with us.”

“Thanks,” Adam said, although his voice lacked conviction.

Red’s brow rose.

Frank shrugged and placed his menu to the side.

Donald waved the waitress over.

Adam and Abe stared at their menus as if the secrets of life were written on the pages.

Blaine exhaled slowly, read the sorrow in his mom’s gaze, and knew this lunch would be one for the books.

Once the waiter left with their orders, his mom placed her clasped hands on the table and leaned forward. “First off, let me say I am sorry for the misunderstanding that happened all those years ago.”

“What misunderstanding?” Abe asked.

Blaine met Donald’s gaze. Without Lindy to intervene, they would have to step in if the boys went too far. Under no circumstances would anyone be allowed to disrespect Allie O’Connor, not even her grandsons.

“When your mother called to tell your fathers about you.
