“That I can do.”
“Y’all leaving already?” Shaun asked.
“Gotta get home to Carson,” Daisy said.
“Carson?” he asked.
“Charlie’s son.”
“Ahhh, okay.”
“Oh, and by the way, Charlie, this is Bailey and Shaun. Bailey and Shaun, this is Charlie,” Daisy said.
“Another cousin?” Charlie asked.

“Good to meet you,” Shaun said.

“Of course! We had so much fun!” Daisy said.
“Anytime you want a redo, let us know,” Lucien said.
“Will do!” Charlie called out, waved quickly, then allowed the door to close behind them.

I am in no mood to do this right now!Remi sent back to his father.
Don’t fucking care. Thirty seconds,Daniel warned.
A growl of frustration bubbled up and out of Remi as he stood up and started for the door.1327 Friar St. I’m coming outside.
Check your fucking attitude before I get there!Daniel warned.
“Where are you going?” Olivia asked.
“My dad’s looking for me. He’ll be here in a second.”
