“I didn’t know you had a partner,” Mr. Rosenbaum stated to Tate. “Is it serious?”
Tate glanced at me and I held my breath, waiting for his response. “Yes, it is. Bryan and I live together.”
“Live together, eh? Does Marilyn know about this?”
I had no idea who Marilyn was but was eager to find out why it was important for her to know about Tate and me.
“I’ve not spoken to mom in a while, uncle,” Tate replied with a grimace. “I’ve been meaning to, but something always comes up. You know mom is not a person you just call up out of the blue.”
“Well, her birthday is coming up and she’s having a party. I’m sure she’d like for you to be there.”
“I’ll call her.”
Mr. Rosenbaum nodded and walked toward the door. “Well, I should go. You two seem to have plans. It was nice meeting you, Bryan.”
Before I could respond he was gone and the door shut behind him. I turned to Tate puzzled by all that just happened.
