After breakfast, Brent tells Pops it is time to leave.
"That is right. You guys are heading to 2025?" Pops asks Brent.
"Yes. Jake arranged it. We just need to deliver this piece to the jewellery maker." Brent sounds a bit distracted while he is telling this to Pops.
"Have you ever been to the jewellery maker?" Pops asks Brent curiously.
"Yes, once." Brent says. He doesn't elaborate any further on the subject but the look he gives the ring on his finger explains it to me. Brent is still angry with me. He is still refusing to look at me or talk to me. Whenever he says something to me it is because he really couldn't avoid it.
Brent gets up from the table.
"I will get our things." He announces and leaves the room.
I sit and look at Pops. It is impossible that he did not pick up on the vibe at the table. There is no way we look like a couple of newly weds to him.
"Everything will be exactly as it should be." Pops tells me.
