“You’re joking?” He asked, looking at me perplexed.

I shook my head and stared at my phone. “I kid you not Grant, my father just called and told me that Aiden is a father and now a fiance. I’m still lost myself.”

Grant scratched his head and looked out the window, staring into nothing while I could see the gears in his head shift.
