“Oh, that’s horrible.”
“Yeah. So maybe you can get Pete to take you out to celebrate your getting the new job.”
“I’m having second thoughts. I mean, Pete’s my boss. I guess I’ll ask David. He’ll probably tell me I shouldn’t date him if he’s my boss.”
“It is something to think about, Suse. I mean, I was blinded by the fact that Neil had a higher rank than me.”
“I will think about it. But I’m excited about the job. It’s a new start for me.”
“Yes, it is. I’m proud of you.”
DAVID WAS WORKING at home. He had a condo near the office and worked most evenings. After all, he didn’t have a social life.
He’d tried dating, and he’d discovered women liked to date wealthy men. He had a nice car, a nice home, had the title of president of his company. But they didn’t like dating a workaholic. After his last girlfriend had complained about how boring he was, he’d given up dating.
He answered his phone after it rang, expecting it to be his mother. “Hello?”
“David, it’s Susan. I just wanted to thank you again for my new job. I really enjoyed myself today.”
“I’m glad, honey, but don’t decide too quickly. Give yourself time to be sure.”
“I will. Oh, and I like Pete, too.”
“I’m glad.”
Apparently Susan still had something to say, but she wasn’t saying it. But she wasn’t hanging up, either.
“Was there something you had a question about?”
“Um, yes. What is your policy about dating?”
It didn’t take David long to figure out what his sister wanted to know. “You mean Pete?”
“Is he seeing someone right now?”
“No, I don’t think so, but…well, you know Mom’s kind of a snob, don’t you?”
“You mean because she slobbers all over Jerry and his family because they’ve been members of the country club for generations? Yeah, I know. So?”
“Do you remember Pete’s last name?”
“Dansky? What’s wrong with it?”
“Nothing as far as I’m concerned. But his father came over from Eastern Europe when Pete was a little boy. He’s a U.S. citizen now, but he wasn’t born here.”
“I don’t care.”
“But Mom would. I just wanted to point that out. Anyway, is Pete interested in you?”
“I don’t know. I hope so. I thought you and I could go out and celebrate my new job and…and you could ask Pete to come.”
“Were you going to ask Mom?”
“No, I just meant you and me and maybe Alex.”
“Alex would probably have a date with that cop.” David wasn’t happy about that.
“I don’t think so,” Susan said.
That got David’s attention. But Susan didn’t elaborate, and he wasn’t about to ask. Alex’s love life was none of his business, was it?
