"Right," Spencer says, lifting a brow as he places the name. "Caleb. Gabe's friend." Joel had reminded him not to judge too harshly and in fairness, Spencer had only had the one encounter with Gabe at the baby shower. For all he knows, Gabe's views on two men being married could have changed drastically since then, so he relaxes his shoulders and leans slightly into Joel's touch, letting his husband ground him.
It's at the presentation of the resume, though, that he frowns in confusion. He and Joel had never even once discussed the prospect of hiring someone for the store, especially since Charlotte has always been so generous with her time when they need her help; but he supposes that it would give her the freedom to pursue other things if she wants to and having someone else on the payroll would also mean that he and Joel can be more flexible about the hours they spend at work.
The decision isn't one that they can make without talking about it first, of course, but at the very least, Spencer decides it's worth the debate.
"It's a fair enough argument you've made for wanting to work here," Spencer says, stepping forward to take the resume so he can glance over it. He doesn't know that they'll actually need it, but Caleb had gone to the trouble of putting it together to hand in so he doesn't want to brush it off entirely. He glances over his shoulder at his husband, his expression briefly shifting to show how perplexed he is before it settles back into something friendlier as he turns back to Caleb. "Maybe you can stay for a bit so we can learn a bit more about each other? I'll make you a cup of coffee."
