Chapter 31: Breakfast with the Ex

Casey’s POV

“Mom, did you know your eldest son had a date this morning?” Molly gleefully gossips.

“What are you talking about Molly?” Christine asks, her curiosity piqued.

“Casey is having breakfast with Meredith. Dancing with her at the gala stirred up all kinds of feelings for my repressed older brother. Now he wants to have breakfast to reconnect and see if they can try again. Isn’t that wonderful,” Molly is practically bouncing as she shares the news.

Casey is not thrilled that his family knows about his plans to have breakfast with Meredith. Both his mother and his sister have been pushing him to get back together with her for months. Now they are going to think that it is happening when it couldn’t be further from the truth.

“It’s just breakfast. There is no need for anyone to get ahead of themselves. It’s not a big deal,” Casey firmly says to his mother and sister, hoping they will listen to him.
