you too.  Will you help me with the boxes?” he asked, opening the car door.
         “Sure.” Looking around, I noticed Victor already had the sign out front.  At the bottom it read ‘Opening Soon’. 
          The delivery truck pulled up before Tony and I walked into the building.  Two men exited the cab and went to the back of the truck.  Tony talked with them and I went inside.  All of the previous owners’ equipment had been cleared out.  Tony carried a box to a room and sat it down.  “Father said we should be open for business in a couple of months.”
         “I’m happy he is expanding his business.”
         After the boxes where in their rooms, Tony took me down a long narrow hall.  Before opening the door, he looked at me and smiled.   “This is your office,” opening the door.  The room had a desk with a small lamp sitting on top and two filing cabinets in the corner.  A door was in the west wall. 
         “Where does that lead too?” I asked.
         Tony went to the door and opened it.  “This is my office.”
         “Right next door to each other,” I said.  “I like it.”
         “I can’t be far from you, Jess.  I’d miss you being too far away from me.”
         I laughed.  “Sure you would,” I said, with a smirk.
         Tony and I went to the Steak and Grog for dinner.  We sat in a dimly lit corner of the restaurant.  No one noticed Tony drinking from his flask.   “I asked Malinda to be my bridesmaid, but you need a best man.”
         “Isn’t Malinda dating Mike?” Tony asked.
         “I think they’re still seeing each other.”
         “When we get back to town, let’s stop at the hospital and ask him.”
          “It sounds good to me.”
         Driving back to Mayville, I leaned my head on his arm.   Closing my eyes I pictured myself walking down the aisle with my eyes on Tony standing at the altar.  I wasn’t in a rush to get married because we were living together. I knew he wasn’t going anywhere and neither was I.  Tony seemed to be in a hurry and asked me every day when we would say, ‘I do.’
         Before going to the hospital to see Mike, we stopped at the diner.  Malinda was coming to work.  She saw us and came over to the table.  Tony had his arms folded on the table, my left hand rested on his arm.
         “Isn’t today your day off?” I asked Malinda.
         “New hire didn’t show.  By the way—Congratulations!  When is the big day?” Malinda asked.
         “ We haven’t decided yet,” Tony answered.  “Is Mike working tonight?”
         Malinda looked at the clock behind the counter.  “He is.  He should be there at eleven.”
         “Tony needs a best man and who better than Mike,” I said.
         Malinda winked at me and smiled wide heading back to the counter.  I was guessing she was still seeing Mike.
         After drinking several cups of coffee, Tony and I went to the hospital.  Mike was sitting at the nurse station. He looked up when the elevator door dinged and smiled when he saw us getting off the elevator. “What brings you two here so late?”
         “Tony and I are getting married and ….”
         “No kidding,” he said, getting up from his chair.  “Congratulations Guys!  When is the big day?” he asked, hugging me and shaking Tony’s hand.  He looked down at my ring.  “That’s a nice ring.”
         “ Thanks. We haven’t set a date yet. We—well Tony would like to ask you something.”
         “Sure, what would you like to ask me?” Mike took a step back and leaned against the counter.
         “I’ d like to know if you’ll be my best man.”
         “I’ d be honored to be your best man,” he said, smiling from ear to ear.
         “Thank you, Mike.”
          Getting back to the house it was late.  I went straight to bed.  Tony stayed in the living room watching
