“You really think this is going to work?” Chris asked as he adjusted his tie in the mirror next to his front door.

“Oh yeah. You have to talk to her before she decides on this guy. She might be your mate, but she probably doesn’t realize that you’re hers yet. It can take longer to set in for female wolves. So, you need to act fast if you want to be first in her head, you know?” Tony said, sipping at the glass of wine that Chris had poured him earlier.

“I guess. I just don’t want to overwhelm her, you know? After a date, I always feel like I need a little time to decompress. I’m not sure I’d want a woman turning up at my door and confessing her love to me,” Chris said, shaking his head as he slipped his blazer on.

Why he was dressing up to confess his feelings to Mandy was beyond his comprehension, but Tony had insisted that it showed deference, something that Mandy valued in a partner.

“Okay,” Chris sighed, turning around. “How do I look?”

“Like you’re reading to take the plunge. But here, finish my wine,” he said, handing Chris the glass. “For a little Dutch courage,” he added.

“I’m pretty sure that refers to gin, but thanks.” Chris emptied the glass.

“The date started at seven, so she should be home by nine. It’s only eight now, so maybe head to a bar or something near her place to wait.”

“Got it. Thanks for this. It’s a little weird being schooled on how to date a girl by her brother, but also, in a way, kind of progressive?”

“Thank you?” Chris said, confused as to whether he’d just been insulted or complimented.

“You’re welcome. Now go! I’m going to chill on your couch, watch Devil Wears Prada and drink wine while my wife is away, and my daughters are being watched by their grandmother.”

“Have fun!” Chris called as he shut the door behind him.

The walk to Mandy’s place from his house took twenty minutes, and Chris took it slowly, meandering through the streets and enjoying the warm summer night. Summer was his favorite season. The fruits and vegetables were fresh, the days were long, and the sun never seemed to stop shining. It made up for the bitterly cold winters they almost always suffered in Montana when everyone was forced to take shelter inside and wait out the frigid temperatures.

Chris was nearly at Mandy’s apartment building when he happened to pass by a restaurant window on the corner of 4th Avenue and N 25th street. The twinkling candles from inside lured his gaze over, and as Chris peered into the window, he saw none other than the unmistakable mug of Mandy’s date.
