Spoiled by Eight Uncles

Josh had imagined many times what meeting his mother for the first time would be like.

He had thought that she would look a mess, working at some shady establishment against. her will.

He had thought that she would look cold and heartless, taking deep drags of her cigarette as she shooed them away impatiently and claiming she had no sons like them.

He had also thought that upon finding out they were from the Crawford family, she would change her attitude at once and try to wrangle something out of them…
