The Sycophant’s Brother

Here’s a guy, Nate says, who knows a real woman when he sees one.

He’s standing now, pointing at me and then at Lynn, smiling his drunk smile and sloshing his wine.

Here’s to the best brother there ever was, he raises his glass and bows his head, the rest of the table grumbling in agreement.

Nate, I say, there’s no need.

HA! he says, there is definitely a need! You telling me that a guy can’t honor his successful little brother at his engagement party?

Fine, I say, and he goes on, burping after every bold lie he tells.
