“What do you know about her?”
“She likes science fiction and fantasy movies. We were talking about the new superhero movie. She’s got a crush on Thor.”
“Well, who doesn’t really?”
Bastien shrugged. “He doesn’t do anything for me.”
“You’re just jealous.”
“Insanely,” he deadpanned.
“You know who Jace reminds me of?”
“Please don’t tell me.”
“Bucky.”
Bastien took a sip of her iced tea.
“Hey, get your own.”
“I was just wondering if they spiked this because you’re delusional.”
“You know which superhero you remind me of?”
“Buzz Lightyear?”
“More like Buzzkill. No, you remind me of Iron Man.”
“I’m not sure if I should be insulted or not.”
“Play it up.”
Bastien wished someone had spiked his drink. “Play what up?”
“If she likes superheroes, pretend that you’re a billionaire playboy. You’ll get laid in no time.”
“I can’t even believe we’re having this conversation. Kitty, I’m not going to the bachelor party to get laid. No one is going to get laid at this bachelor party.”
“It’s a good thing you ordered a lot of booze, then.”
“I need a drink right now.” Bastien shook his head.
“Have one for me, too, because Mom just walked in.”
Bastien craned his neck and sure enough his mother was heading right toward them. “Do you think it’s too late to leave out the back door?”
“Welcome to my life ever since I announced my engagement.”
“There you are! The office said you were out to lunch and I figured I’d find you here. Shove over, Bastien.” His mother hip checked him against the side of the booth. She thunked a large binder on the table. “I need you to make a decision on the napkin design.”
Kitty mouthed, “Kill me.”
