were already there waiting on them to arrive. And they squealed when they saw Kimberly. She hurried to their little huddle and shared a group hug with them.
    Sue held back, letting her sister bask in the glory of being the bride. These were her friends and this was her big day that approached. And if she played her cards right maybe one day very soon she’d be in the spotlight.
     
     
    Alex stared at his reflection in the mirror , trying to decide if he liked what he saw or not. He hadn’t had on a formal tux since his senior prom. The many banquets and occasional dinner party he’d attended since had required a dinner jacket or expensive suit.
    “What’s taking so long in there?” Brandon called, knocking on the dressing room door.
    Reluctantly, Alex opened for him to see. He fiddled with the odd-colored blue cummerbund. “Is this right?”
    When he looked up , he saw his pal looked exactly the same as he did. “I guess that answers my question.”
    Brandon laughed. “They don’t call these monkey suits for nothing, but if I grab the attention of a hot babe while wearing this I’m all for it.”
    Alex grinned and shook his head. “You never change, do you?”
    “It’s all about the ladies, Alex. You could learn a thing or two from me.”
    “I think I’m doing just fine on my own.”
    “Now gentleman, let’s have a look at you,” the clerk said , coming into the dressing area with a cloth measuring tape hanging around his neck. He adjusted the jacket on Alex and smoothed the shoulders, checked the length of the sleeves, the inseam and length of the slacks. “I think it’s a perfect fit for you. How does the shirt fit?”
    “Fine.”
    “Excellent.” The clerk turned to Brandon and did the same to him before deciding they needed a different jacket size because the sleeves were a little short. “A long instead of a regular will do for you. I’ll be right back with it.”
    Brandon took the jacket off. “You never said, but did you and Kimberly’s sister have a good time last night?”
    Alex nodded. “ We did.”
    “You going to ask her out again?”
    “I didn’t really ask her out, we just left the restaurant. But yeah, I think I’m going to ask her out for real.”
    “Why not tonight? Since we can’t go hiking, you might as well enjoy yourself. I hope Keely doesn’t have the same feeling next week because I really want to go hiking before all the leaves change and fall off the trees.”
    “True, but I don’t have her number.”
    “I’m sure Phil must. Give him a call.”
    Alex grabbed for his cellphone from the dressing room and was about to dial their friend when the clerk returned.
    The man made the adjustment to Brandon’s attire and once he was satisfied, instructed them that they could change back into their street clothes. “I’ll have these ready for pick up the day before the wedding. If you should need anything between now and then please do not hesitate to call.”
    “Good. I’m ready to get out of here.” Brandon headed into his dressing room and Alex did the same. He finished his call to Phil and got Sue’s number. He hurried and changed before he could think of reasons not to call her.
    Getting into his truck he made the call and it rang several times. He was about to hang up when she finally answered.
    “Hello?”
    “Sue.”
    “Yes.”
    “It’s Alex. I got your number from Phil. I hope you don’t mind.”
    “Hi. No. I don’t mind. What’s up?”
    “I had a great time last night and was wondering if you didn’t already have plans if you’d want to do something tonight? I know it’s last minute…”
    “I enjoyed last night too. No, I don’t have plans tonight. What did you have in mind?”
    “Dinner? Maybe a movie?”
    “I’d like that.”
    “Great. I can call for you at five. I need to go see Keely. The doctor put her on bed rest for the day.”
    “Oh no. I hope she’s okay.”
    “Her ankles were swollen so she was to stay off her feet and eat
