“How nice of you to join us,” said Neil. His plate was heaping with pot roast but he had yet to touch his meal. If I had to guess, my grandmother had threatened to hit him with a wooden spoon if he dared to start without me. “What were you two doing in there, anyway?” He was looking at Poppy who was red in the face. Hearing me say those three little words had nearly brought her to tears and I’ll admit, hearing her say them back excited me in a way I wouldn’t soon forget.

“Never mind that,” my grandmother interjected. “Take a seat, both of you, before the food gets cold.”

We did what we were told and for the first few minutes, no one said a word. Neil was stuffing his face. Poppy still had this dazed expression plastered on hers. As for my grandparents, I had never seen them look happier. No doubt, when they had taken the trip to California, they had thought it would end in tragedy – that they would find their grandson horribly injured, maybe even dead. Surely, they hadn’t expected for my brother and me to make amends or for Poppy to be part of the picture. If I had known things would have worked out this way, I would have gotten shot long ago.

“I would like to propose a toast,” I said, holding up my glass. “To family and whatever the future may bring to our table.”

“Cheers.” Everyone clinked their glasses around the table. I smiled at the sound because I knew it was the signal of a new start. I’d make my grandparents proud by carrying on the family business and I’d do so alongside my brother, learning to work with the differences that defined us instead of fighting against it and severing our bond. And Poppy? Well, I had a feeling that we were about to enter that honeymoon phase so many people like to talk about.
