Chapter Twenty-Four

Carson

They were late for their appointment with the tailor for their suit fitting. Michael had insisted on staying to watch the lap dancers at The Gentlemen’s Retreat, an upmarket hooker bar, and who was Carson to deny a man his simple pleasures?

They were both tipsy but not drunk by the time they arrived at the tailors an hour after their 8 pm appointment. Bryan, a man with exquisite taste in men’s clothes and long, thin fingers that could spin magic with a needle and thread, pursed his lips but said nothing as Michael stumbled and crashed into a display of shirts.

“Ooops. Sorry about that, Bryan. He’s overexcited. It’s not every day that his best friend gets married.” Carson yanked Michael upright as Bryan tutted and stooped to collect the fallen shirts from the floor. “Get a grip,” he whispered loudly in his friend’s ear. “Try and see this as a practice run for next Saturday. Mom has already commented on your behavior in public.”

“What’s wrong with my behavior in public? And why should Martha care? She’ll be too busy preening for the cameras and playing up her role as mother of the groom to the hilt to bother looking at me.”

Well, he had been the perfect companion up until Carson’s life took this latest dramatic turn. Right now, Carson needed a best man who he could rely on and one who wouldn’t show him up on his wedding day.

“Are you sure you want to do this? I can ask Jack to stand up beside me if you’d rather be on the guest list than in the wedding party itself.”

Michael managed to look offended. “Hey, I wouldn’t dream of skipping out on the role of best man. You can count on me. I won’t let you down.”

Bryan signaled that he was ready to begin and the men walked into adjoining fitting rooms to try on the suits the tailor had set aside for them.

After the fitting was complete and Bryan was left to make the required adjustments, the men went to the bar down the block for a beer. Michael was raring to hit some of the city’s top spots but Carson begged off and convinced him to settle for a beer at a sports bar before he headed home for the evening. It wasn’t like him
