Everyone congratulated us, and the girls took Sofia back to Georgia & Jackson’s house to discuss the wedding.

“Dad?” Ella stuck out her hand.

“I haven’t had a chance to look it over yet, sweetheart. Give me some more time.”

“Hurry up. Registration is closing in a couple of days.” She jumped off Conner’s lap. “I’m going back to the house to work on my painting.”

“What does she want?” Conner asked.

I sighed as I took a sip of my beer.

“She wants to use my credit card to sign up for some Human Design course.”

“A what?” Christian asked.

“That’s exactly what I asked her. I don’t know what it is.” I pulled my phone from my pocket and sent the link to my brothers and cousins in our group chat. “Now we can all check it out together.”

“Hmm. I think Grace knows about this stuff. I swear she mentioned this before. Hold on,” Simon said as texted Grace.

A moment later, she walked over and wrapped her arms around Simon’s neck.

“This better be important. We’re discussing wedding plans and don’t have a lot of time,” she said.

“Ella wants to sign up for this.” Simon showed her his phone.

“Oh! That’s wonderful. And?”

“Nathan has a problem with it,” Simon said.

“I didn’t say that, douchebag. I don’t know what it is or why she wants to take this course.”

“Did you ask her why?” Grace asked.

“Well, no.”

“I think it’s great. Sign her up. In fact, I think all of you should learn about your human design. I’m signing Simon up. You all can do it as a family.”

“Thanks a lot, douchebag,” Simon scowled at me. “If she’s making me do it, you’re all doing it! We do everything as a family, and this is no exception.”

“I’m in,” Shaun said.

“Me too.” Christian smiled.

“I’ll think about it.” I sighed.

Nathan

“You haven’t told us yet how the meeting with Ella’s principal went,” Conner spoke.

“Yeah, bro. What did she want to meet with you and Sofia about?” Jackson asked.

“Ella can’t attend their school any longer.” I tipped the beer bottle to my lips.

“What? Why?” Christian’s brows furrowed.

“Because she’s too advanced and at a high school level. So, they think it’s best for her to attend Oak Crest Academy.”
