“We should catch a movie tonight.”

I glanced up from my desk and stared at Carter. “Why would I want to do that?”

“Well, there’s this really good movie that just came out. Dwayne Johnson’s in it, and I’m dying to see it.”

“So, take Abby.”

“She won’t go with me. She said she doesn’t like men with muscles that big.”

I snorted out a laugh. “That’s because she doesn’t want you to feel emasculated.”

“No, that’s not it. She said his muscles are too big. Anyway, it’s Friday night and there’s no poker, so let’s do it.”

“Sure, I’ll just bring Brody along to see a violent movie.”

He tapped the side of his head. “See, this is why you have me to work shit out for you. I already made arrangements for you with Josh.”

“Why is it that you’re always making babysitting arrangements for me?”

“Because if I left it up to you, you would conveniently never have anyone to watch Brody for you.”

I hated that he was right about that. Sometimes I needed a night to myself, but a night like tonight, I would gladly stay home with Brody just so I didn’t have to go out with Carter.

“So, you drop Brody off and I’ll meet you at the theater.”

“Do I have to?” I sighed.

“Yes, this is what you do, Jack. You get out and live life. You can’t sit around your house anymore. You’re going to turn into a troll or a garden gnome.”

“Why can’t you just go with Josh?”

“Because Josh doesn’t need to get off his ass and join the land of the living.”

“You already drag me to poker night all the time. Isn’t that enough?”

“Not by a long shot.” He got up and headed for the door. “The movie starts at seven. Be there, or I will come drag your ass to the theater.”

Sighing, I glanced at the clock on the wall. It wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world. However, I was kind of hoping I could see Christy tonight, not that she was ever available for me. Even when I offered to come help her with her security system, she insisted she could figure it out on her own.

I picked up Brody and packed a bag for him, sending a quick message to Josh, just to make sure this was really okay. When he responded that it was, I felt myself deflate a little. Maybe I could talk him out of it when I showed up at his house.

“Are you ready to go, buddy?”

“Yep!” he shouted, fist bumping the air.

“Are you sure?” I asked, bending down to his level. “You would tell me if you didn’t want to go, right?”

“Why wouldn’t I want to go? Uncle Josh is so cool!”

I internally cringed, but conceded that my kid liked Josh and there was nothing I could do about it. This was a good thing, actually. It would help us move toward being friends again. I drove him over there and walked up the steps. Brody was way ahead of me, pounding on the door before I even got there.
