Chapter 11Two weeks and a day after the Saturday he’d spent with Dave, Brody, and Micah, Joe was having his customary Sunday dinner at Applebee’s. He’d given the server his order. As he waited for his food, his thoughts went back over recent days. Toward the end of the week following supper at the Cromer/Cox household, he’d been tempted to call Micah and see if he wanted to get together and do something. But he wasn’t sure whether the hot little guy even liked him. He’d thought there’d been some vibes, but he wasn’t sure. And maybe, if there had been, Micah would call him. But that hadn’t happened, and Joe had another lonely weekend. What he had done, though, was to email Bill, telling him about Micah, about how attracted he’d been, how unsure he’d been of Micah’s feelings toward him.
