Thank God for Declan.

Chapter Twenty-Seven

DECLAN

Froggie

Mom stopped by the store

Declan

Why?

She wanted to tell me about the job my dad sent over

What job?

I hate being on the road

Some position at his company

Something I don’t want

He kind of sucks

To put it mildly

She also invited us to dinner when you get home

Ugh

Do we have to?

Yes

Because she checked to make sure that you didn’t have a game

Great

I can’t wait

I can hear your sarcasm through the phone

Sorry

You know how much they grate on me

I know

We’ll go and make nice and do what they want then we can leave

And maybe do something more fun at home

The light at the end of the tunnel

When are you leaving for the rink?

Getting ready to head out now
