“Great!” Dalton patted the seat again. “Then you can sit.”


Andrew did so, but with the next awkward span of silence readily on deck, he spoke up quickly. “So, Dalton, what are you up to? Did you get that job at Avalon?”


“I did! Working directly with Doctor Vallancourt. She’s incredible.”


“That’s great. I’ve met her a few times now. Avalon had some break-ins when I was a detective.”


“Really? So, you know my boss, and you dated my dad? Good thing we never slept together, or this would be a real mess.” He snickered, and Andrew’s face turned green, while Isaac felt bile in his stomach. “Relax! Seriously, Dad, we both had boyfriends when Andrew tutored me.”


“I’ve had boyfriends,” Andrew said, and then remembered the lie Isaac had neglected like an amateur. “Before you.”


“How did you two meet anyway?” Dalton asked.


“Series of chance encounters,” Isaac said.
