Neil was working his butt off from dawn to dusk with a constant frown on his face.

Ryan pulled him aside for a chat, and I pretended to be oblivious. Whatever father and son were discussing, it wasn’t my place to butt

When mealtime rolled around, Neil and Ryan finally joined us in the dining room. Faith and Hannah had cooked up a storm, and the food looked mouth-watering
