Chapter 43: Grayson: Sampling a New Church

"Are you sure you don't want to go?" I ask Dad as I adjust my tie again.

"I appreciate the invitation, but we've had this talk, Grays. I'm not going to church." He gives a firm shake of his head and laces up his work boots. "Besides, I have a ton of work to catch up on."

"When will you be home?"

"Around two or three. Bryan's closing the garage early because Sarah has some work thing she's dragging him to." Dad stands and slips on his coat.

"Sounds fun," I say.

We walk out of the house together. He climbs into the work truck, and I climb into his truck. The weather is progressively getting cooler, and it's been raining a lot, so I haven't been riding my bike as much. And considering I'm heading over to pick up Belle so we can check out a new church, taking the motorcycle isn't a good idea.
