““Okay, guys, what’s the deal?”
They were surprisingly reticent. Mike flipped the hamburgers on the grill and avoided looking at him directly. Rick sighed.
“I’m waiting,” he prodded.
“We’re on a mission,” Rick finally admitted. “From our wives,” he added, as if there were any question about who’d put them up to it.
Josh bit back a chuckle at the idea of these two men, both of whom obviously had a very strong sense of who they were, being manipulated by the women in their lives. It was a testament to how deeply they loved their wives. “Interesting. And you felt obligated to accept this mission?”
“Oh, yeah,” Mike confirmed. “If I were you, I’d run right now. The list of very intrusive questions we were given is endless.” He reached in his pocket and pulled out a wrinkled piece of paper. “Melanie made notes. She didn’t trust my memory.”
Rick held out a similar sheet of paper. “Neither did Maggie.” He frowned at Mike. “I think we were supposed to be more subtle about it.”
