Mr. Imperfect

Chapter 1



Mike’s sister was up to something. That was nothing new, really, but this time something was a little different—a little more elaborate. Elaborate enough that Mike’s mom was poking her nose in.

“Kris heading over,” his mom said when he picked up the phone. “She just passed on a girls’ night with Jessica to golf with Caleb.”

“The plot thickens,” Mike said, peeking out his window just in time to see his sister come into view. “I see her. Gotta go.”

“Golf, Mike. You know how she lectures your father on how many children could be fed each year on his golf fees.”

“Yes, Mom. I’ve caught that lecture more than once. Now if we don’t want Kris to catch me on the phone with you we need to hang up.”

“Just find out what you can.”

“On it.”

“I thought this was all about Luke at first, but he’s not here to catch any of this. It doesn’t make sense.”

“No, it doesn’t,” he said, watching his sister move up to the porch.” Gotta go.”

“Love you, sweetie.”

“You, too.”

Hanging up, Mike quickly put on his work headphones and faced the wedding video on his computer screen. It was finished, but that didn’t mean he couldn’t convincingly move his mouse around. After all, his sister might be the one to come up with all the elaborate plots, but Mike always been the better actor. It seemed it was once again time to put his skills to use.
