“You’re trying to impress a girl, right?”
Eric was silent for several seconds until he finally said hesitantly, “Yeah…right.”
Tyler grinned. Maybe Eric was more like him than he thought. “Look, I know this bad-boy routine is new for you, but you have to figure out what you can get away with and what you can’t. You have to make some effort at school, okay?”
“Yeah. Thanks.” His brother was silent for several seconds. “Alex is coming over to watch the MU football game on Saturday. Want to come over?”
“I’ve got plans,” Tyler said as his assistant walked into his office and handed him a file. “Maybe some other time.”
“Yeah. Right,” Eric grunted before he hung up.
Tyler often turned down Norris brother events, but he had a real excuse this time. Brittany had some wedding activity planned.
He’d love nothing more than to tell Brittany no, but she and Randy had been there for Tyler after his crazy stalker incident, and he felt like he owed her.
Tyler set his phone on his desk as Victor popped his head in the doorway. “Thanks again for the case reference. We filed an injunction this afternoon, and the papers should be served tomorrow morning. I owe you. If you need something, just tell me what it is.”
Tyler waved his hand as he turned to his computer screen. “Thanks. I’ll file that away for future use.” Victor’s Royals season tickets came to mind.
If only he could get his phone call with his brother out of his head. Tyler had screwed around in high school and turned out just fine. Eric would too, right?
