well, it was awkward, getting a dinner invitation from lucy and seeing the surprised look on susie’s face. and, alright, maybe he was a little bit to blame. maybe he’d ignored the last.. ten or so dinner invitations. but he was a busy guy, and so rarely was he home from work, showered, changed and relaxed by six o’ clock. it wasn’t something that he could commit to. was it a coincidence, though, that lucy had asked and peter had jumped? ...no, probably not. he was holding his mug of after-dinner coffee when he approached his sister. “hey, susan. dinner was great. thanks for that.”
