“Really?”

“I know he will help me however he can if I ask him to.”
“Good. Now, your sister... Keep an eye on her and those grandkids of mine.”
“You know I will.”
“And you better start eating and taking good care of yourself. Promise.”
“I promise I will eat well. Stan will make sure of that.” Will frowned. Something didn’t feel right.
