“So,” James started as soon as he and Dylan got through the apartment door. “Taking Catherine to prom?”

“Technically we’re going stag together because we’re not together, and she doesn’t really believe in social conventions like prom.”

“You talked her into going to prom with you.” Dylan took a bow. “You do know she’s going to the other side of the country?” As much as James liked Catherine, she was the first and possibly only girl to truly break Dylan’s heart.

“I know. And there will be other people there, and she’ll probably hook up with someone and date and whatnot but….”

“Boston is a long way.” He didn’t want to hurt Dylan, but he was never sure if Dylan was fully in reality when it came to Catherine.

“I know, I know.” Dylan’s face fell, and he took a deep breath. “I know how this story ends. I do. I’m not an idiot. Can I just live in complete denial until she leaves in August? I mean, I know the odds and what’s what but… denial? Please?”

“Sure.” James gave his arm a small squeeze. “How’s your ankle?”

“It’s fine,” Dylan answered. James gave him a hard look. Dylan was bad about underplaying injuries and seemed determined to give James a stress-related ulcer or aneurysm over it. “It’s a little tender but not bad, and I’ve got some time to rest it up now, and I will. Promise.”

“I just worry.”

“I know, and I’m fine. Now how about you? You and Gabe looked like you were plotting something.”

James allowed the change in subject. “Oh, that—apparently there’s a company birthday party or something, and he wants me to go with him.”

Dylan froze for a second. “The TechPrim prom? Of course you’d go, you’re dating the CFO. Telling you this right now, Dad, it’s kinda a big deal. TechPrim goes all out for these things. You’re going to end up in the gossip columns again.”

Gabe hadn’t mentioned that, probably on purpose. James didn’t like to back out of things he’d agreed to, and he was pretty sure Gabe had learned that about him as well.

He gave a little internal growl. “As long as my team doesn’t forward it around campus, I’ll live. And it might be nice if they spell my name correctly as well.”
