Chapter 12: Bad Connection Barry wisely refrained from asking Sam how her visit had gone. She totally didn’t want to talk about it. They spent the evening talking about plans for the wedding, which was coming up in five months. Even a small, outdoor wedding takes some organization, as Sam attempted to explain to the laid-back Barry. Tonight the subject was clothes—Barry wanted to wear a caftan (a plan Sam immediately vetoed), but he was willing to settle for khaki pants and an Indian gauze shirt. Dax came in during the conversation and asked if he could wear the same kind of shirt as Barry, which obviously pleased the prospective groom. Emily hooted at the idea of her brother in a “hippie shirt.” They all had to laugh at that, and Sam started to put the past weekend behind her and relax.
