“You want to invite your ex‐wife and her husband to our wedding,” Hawkeye said.

BJ shrugged. He felt every jealous impulse seep out of his body. He was an adult. He’d navigated all sorts of complicated interpersonal relationships. They were cool, modern people, weren’t they? Hawkeye was, at least. He’d always been.

Hawkeye sat down on the bed again. He put his feet up and rubbed at his bad knee.

“Is this some sort of game of chicken, Beej? You’re telling me you’d be just fine with Trapper as my best man?” Hawkeye said.
