Chapter 20

She leans across the table and discreetly asks, “Does he have a boyfriend?”

Truth is, Tuck won’t have a boyfriend anytime soon. Not if he continues his one-night flings with his assortment of bed buddies. He’s far from settling down with one dick. Maybe in the future he’ll calm down and stick with one guy, but not as of yet. It’s something I don’t see happening for a few years.

I shake my head. “He doesn’t. But I’m sure he’ll find someone suitable, someday, of course.”

“Good to know.” She waves a finger at me. “I’d hate to see him spending his days and nights alone. Everyone needs a companion.”

How about seven companions a week…make that nine?I think, but object to the idea of verbally sharing this thought with her, saving her son from her judgment. Instead, I tell her, “He’ll find Mr. Right someday. We all do.”

She nods. “Yes, we do, Mr. Beare. I’m sure he’ll be suitable for a serious guy soon.”
