“I REALLY THINK our visit went well,” I said as we made our way back to the car. “You guys talked longer than I expected. Your brothers are assholes though.”

Sofie nodded. “That’s the true Tom and Lou experience. Tom went by Ace for a while so he’s toned it down.”

“Seriously, no less than four times they implied that by dating me, an idiot, it might disqualify you for your role with the Foundation.” I was saying it lightly, but really it made me furious.

Patty chimed in. “We think they’re making a long con to get Sofie off the Foundation. This could be good, actually. If you’re the lightning rod for the rest of the family, maybe Sofie can have some real bonding time with her father.”

Sofie sighed, taking her heels off when she got into the backseat. “I doubt it. It’s a pleasant thought, though. I’m just glad you amused my father more than anything.”

I preened a bit at that. “Yeah, well, jesters worked for a reason back in the day.”

“You’re really not going to win my father over at all doing that.” Sofie had tucked one leg under herself. She seemed relieved and more cheerful than I was used to seeing her after these visits. “You’re losing your bet already.”

And in the backseat next to her, the thought of losing out on the story of a lifetime didn’t seem like a big loss. As long as I had Sofie next to me, looking at me with that mix of amusement and affection, I thought I could be just fine without it.

“It’s step one. It’s a process,” I told her as we headed back to the Lodge. “Let it percolate.”

“Well, I look forward to seeing it come to fruition. Though try to be less pathetic next time. I could see it being trouble for me later if I introduce someone foolish to my father now.”

But Sofie’s smile was warm and soft and affectionate for me, so I wasn’t fussed about that for now.
