Okay, so I went to the feed store today for some food…

Gage

Texas doesn’t have grocery stores? I find that kinda surprising.

Rowan

Gage, shut it. Jasper, and?

Jasper

First, until you’ve been to an H-E-B, don’t diss Texas grocery stores.

Second, a dude was working there with a Pride pin on his name tag. I told you this place is a gay mecca.

Dad

Huh. Well, that’s good, I guess.

Jasper

I just thought it was cool.

Dad

You get the B&B opened yet?

Jasper

Not yet, but I’m working on it every day. I’ve got all the rooms cleaned, and I’m getting it together as quickly as I can.

Did you know Sissy had a brother?

Dad

Really? I don’t remember hearing that.

Jasper

Dad

Right, right. I guess that makes sense.

Just make sure you’re not getting sidetracked. It’d be nice to see this one stick.
