“Do you see them much?”

“Well, my mom and her husband retired to Hawaii.”

“Lucky them.”

Nathan smiled and wrote down Barnaby’s score after eating a fry. He’d missed his spare. No doubt about it, Nathan was kicking his ass.

As for my stepbrother, Matt, I haven’t seen him in some time, but I think my stepmom said he’d been trying to get a job at UCLA Med Center.”
