Chapter 24

“So how are things going with Eric?” she asked.

“Okay, I guess. No complaints.”

“That’s great. I knew you two would hit it off.” She hesitated before telling me, “Gary’s still a little uncomfortable with you and Eric seeing each other, but I think he’s coming around.”

“What is he so worried about?”

“I don’t know. Sometimes, I swear, he worries more about Eric than he does about his own children.”

“Why? Eric’s a grown man.”

“I don’t know,” she said with a shrug. “Gary and I have been married for nearly thirteen years, and I still don’t understand the dynamics between him and his brothers.”

“I don’t know if we would want to move this far out,” Sabrina told him.
