***Aggie***

I hovered outside of the kitchen, listening to my dad talking to Zander. Kyrin and Knight had offered to get Gracie up for me, so that I could get to my dad faster, but I was too nervous to cross the threshold. I couldn’t believe he was in their kitchen. I was still having a small heart attack, to say the least.

“Ag, I can feel you lurking.” Dad’s raised voice was filled with humor. “Come on in.”

I slowly slipped around the corner, my hands clasped in front of me. I flashed a guilty smile at him and winced. “Hey, Dad.”

He shook his head at me and reached over to pat Zander on the shoulder. “She never was good at being in trouble. She’d do something sneaky as a kid and then walk in with that exact face on. How was I supposed to parent that face?”

Zander laughed and hid his face behind his coffee cup as he spoke. “I can’t imagine Aggie being sneaky. She’s been the best.”

Dad stared at my reddening cheeks and beckoned me closer. When I was in arms reach, he gripped my shoulders and studied me. Having his pale blue eyes search my face made me squirm and he knew it. “Here I was thinking that you’d been murdered, since you haven’t called me once, and you’re here, getting your kicks. Shame on you for worrying your old man when you’ve been here, playing footsy with the boss.”

I gasped. “Dad!”

Zander choked on his coffee and put the mug down. “Sir, I-”

Dad rolled his eyes. “You think I care that you’re getting it on? Ag, you should know better. I don’t care who you let melt the magic snowman, just as long as you’re happy. And call me Mark. I never liked being called sir. Never felt old enough.”

Knight’s laughter filled the kitchen. “Melt the magic snowman?”

Dad looked between Zander and Knight, then stared at me again. He slapped his knee and let out a belting laugh. “I’ll be damned, Ag. Wait until your cousins hear about this.”

Kyrin walked in, wearing his cowboy hat and a confused expression. He looked around at all of us and then he held his hand out to my dad. “Um, nice to meet you, sir. Kyrin Graves.”

Dad was in a full on fit of laughter. He knocked Kyrin’s hand away and wiped tears from his eyes. “Forgive me for not shaking that hand, son. Unfortunately, I’m pretty sure I know where it’s been.”

“Dad!” I buried my face in my hands and let out a frustrated scream. “This is just like the time you accused me of going all the way with Steven Mallory in front of his parents! You can’t just blurt stuff out!”

“You did go all the way with Steven Mallory. In the backseat of his mom’s minivan, of all places. He couldn’t spill it fast enough.” Dad wiped even more tears away. “It’s not my fault I can read you like a book, honey. This one is surprising me, I’ll admit.
