Why else would she be there at this hour?”

Keith furrowed his brows. ‘Blair and Niles?’ “That’s not right,” he muttered as he turned to leave.

Back in his bedroom, Keith couldn’t stop thinking about it. He tried closing his eyes, but sleep wouldn’tcome. Eventually, he decided to call Wesley.

By then, Wesley had just finished his work. Surprised to receive a call from his grandpa in the dead ofthe night, he asked, “Grandpa, why are you still up? Something happen?”

“Is Blair living in Niles‘ apartment?” Keith asked, cutting straight to the point.

“Damn Niles and his big mouth!’ Wesley thought.

“Yeah. She has just broken up with her fiance and needed a place to stay.”

Niles spent most of his time out of the country. Now that Blair had moved in, he wouldn’t be using hisplace even if he was back home. So

A N G E L A ‘s L I B R A R Y

Wesley didn’t think he needed to explain anything.

But that was exactly why his family had gotten things so twisted

Keith hung up after hearing Wesley’s reply. That night, he didn’t sleep a wink.

He had never seen Wesley with anyone but Megan. Now that he had a thing for Blair, how could shebe with Niles?

Not that he was biased in favor of Wesley. Well, maybe a Little-when it came to relationships. Wesleywasn’t as romantic as Niles. So Keith was worried about him replaceing a wife.

He could tell that Wesley liked Blair. But he couldn’t figure out why she was with Niles. He felt bad forhis older grandson.

Early the next morning, Keith called Wesley again.

“Wesley, I have got the cure for your blues. The granddaughter of a friend of mine has just completedher studies abroad. I’ve seen her picture. Beautiful. She has huge… eyes. I think you’ll like her. Whynot come back home and meet her? A restaurant would be a better place than the army base.”

While the old man rattled on, Wesley had a bad feeling about this.

This was the first time his family had tried to fix him up. Some of his comrades-in-arms had been onblind dates. They had told him that once there was a first time, there would be a second. Their familywouldn’t stop setting him up until he settled down.

“Grandpa, you know how busy I am. I have a few more years before I wilt even consider gettingmarried. If a great-grandson is what you want, fix Niles up.”

“It’s not him I’m worried about. You’ve been single too long. Time to replace someone to take care of you.Come home. I can call your uncle

Adalson to ask a leave for you.”

Wesley felt a headache coming on.

“Grandpa, you told me that a man should be ambitious and driven, not confused by love.”

“That’s true. I told you that when you were a teen. How old are you now? 26! And still single. It’s time toget a girlfriend.”

Wesley felt his grandpa was bossy. He seemed to have an answer for everything, and had to be right.
