Always a Groomsman

I tilted my head in a state of confusion. “Trouble. What do you mean by that?”


“Let’s just say you need to stay away from Mr. Brogan. I’m not at liberty to discuss his past, but I can tell you that he and Wedding Peeks cannot have a connection of any kind.”


I said rather curtly, “We all have pasts, Lori. I’m sure no one is blemish-free.”


She laughed, patronizing me, and shook her head. “I will have to rethink your employment at Wedding Peeks if I find that you’re mixing with that hellion. I’m serious when I say this. You don’t want Patrick Brogan to jeopardize your position here at my company.”


I wanted to gasp with fury, but didn’t. Instead, the outrage struck my insides, but I held my emotions together, and asked in a light and inoffensive tone, “Are you threatening me, Lori?”
