“Mom, please don’t make a big deal out of this,” I interrupt, rushing the words out so fast, they’re almost unintelligible. “I went after him, he didn’t know how old I was, and when he found out, he ran so fast I thought he’d break the sound barrier. And it was never more than kisses.” And groping, and one hand job that introduced me to wonders I hadn’t yet discovered in my previous fumbling attempts. But Mom doesn’t need to hear that.

“Apparently, every time she drinks beer, she craves cupcakes. It’ll get to a point at every party where she says she wishes she had a cupcake.” He shrugs. “So tonight she got a cupcake.”

“I didn’t see this coming, and I’m sorry. I should have anticipated it so you weren’t blindsided.” Charlie gives me an incredulous look. “You should have anticipated that someone would think I was their sugar daddy?”

“You see this T-shirt? I got this at Walmart. It’s not about designer, Lee. It’s about style. That”—he waves at my jeans and sweater, which okay, they may be my nicest but I’ve had them for years and they were never trendy and it’s possible the colors don’t really go together—“is not style. Ooh, we should go shopping!”

I try not to sound condescending and offensive, but from the look on Lee’s face, I’ve failed miserably. And okay, I get why. But he dresses like a colorblind seventy-year-old who didn’t look in the mirror before leaving the house.

“Well, like today. You came to brunch with me and had to wear brunch-appropriate clothing. Which, honestly, that outfit—” “Are you about to insult my clothes again?” There’s a thread of laughter in his voice. “Yup. I really, really am. ‘Clothes’ is a good word, because ‘outfit’ was stretching things.” Now he laughs outright. “C’mon, I’m wearing jeans and a sweater. They’re in muted colors and have no holes or anything.” Oh, the poor, deprived man.

Romantic books and movies? You mean like porn? Liam: . . . Liam: Since when has porn EVER been romantic? Charlie: Not like PORN porn, but that other porn. You know, the books with the half-naked people on the covers. My mom collects them for the women at the shelters she works with. Liam: Not porn, Charlie. Romance novels.

There is sex, sometimes a lot of sex, but it’s secondary to the story. The main point is for the characters to fall in love and end up happy together.

Charlie stumbles to a stop every few yards, and I have to get his attention and make sure I stay out of his reach to keep him moving. Each time, he’s so excited to see me and eagerly chases after me—in a shambling, weaving, kept-upright-by-friends way—for a bit before forgetting what’s going on and trying to sit or lie down right in the middle of the sidewalk.

“After dinner and the speeches, there’s gonna be dancing. Mom likes to get bands that people are talking about but haven’t had a big break yet. Two of her previous finds got record deals after playing one of her fundraisers.”

Lee’s acting weird. I think it started on the weekend, but I can’t be sure. He got on great with Mom and Dad—and Marc—which I knew he would, and he even enjoyed the fundraiser. I mean, that might be because I made him dance with me most of the night. Gymnasts have awesome dance moves. Everyone there was jealous of me for being his partner.
