Chapter 29: Grayson: It's NOT a Pity Date

"Big Labor Day picnic at my house this weekend," Vick says as I pass him in the hallway.

I stop. "What time?"

"One. It will probably go all day. It's an adult thing, so you can bring your dad if you want." He shifts his books from one hand to the other. "And you don't have to bring anything."

"All right, cool. I'll let my dad know." The doctor still has him out of work, so I know that won't be an issue, and he loves to socialize. It will be good for him to meet some new people - at least, that's what he's always telling me. "Who else is coming?"

"I'm inviting everyone." He drags his hand through his hair, pushing it out of his face. "Fair warning. Cam and Andrea will probably be there."

"Which means Belle probably won't be," I say, finishing his unspoken thought.

Vick shrugs. "She might come if you're going to be there." He pats my shoulder. "Ask her, okay?"

"Yeah, sure thing."

"Catch ya later."
