As breakfast wrapped up, Zack stretched lazily, letting out a satisfied sigh. "Man, your mom makes a mean stack of pancakes, Ethan. I might just move in."
Ethan's mother chuckled while Claire rolled her eyes.
"Not happening."
Julia giggled. "You can visit though!"
Zack grinned and stood up, bowing dramatically to Ethan's parents.
"Mr. and Mrs. Grey, it has been an honor dining with you. And to the lovely sisters—" He turned to Julia and Claire, giving them a ridiculous two-fingered salute. "I'll be back later to grace you with my charming presence."
Claire smirked. "Lucky us."
Julia laughed and returned the salute. "See you later, Zack!"
Ethan, watching the interaction, shook his head with an amused chuckle, scratching the back of his head. "I'll be back later to pick you two up."
His mother gave him a knowing look. "Drive safely."
