“You ever going to name this place for real?” Tatum asks Travis when I drop her off at the garage, which has been aptly named for as long as I can remember.

“Never really thought about it,” he answers when he rounds the corner to show her where everything is in the tiny office.

“Business seems good.” I observe, looking at his books.

“Yeah,” he answers as he rubs the back of his neck. “I actually need to talk to you two about something.”

We both turn to him to listen to what he has to say. He tells us that although business is good, he’s struggling financially to keep up with the house with all the medical bills from my mom still needing to be paid. I immediately feel like a dick. I don’t know why I never thought about that part of things after my mom passed away.

“Let me help,” I offer.

He takes a deep breath before continuing. “I want to move. The house is too big for just Pen and me. I don’t want to go far; I have this place and I don’t want her to have to move schools. But it’s just too much. Are you guys alright with that?”

“Trav, why wouldn’t we be? It was your house with Mom. You need to do what’s best for you and Penny,” Tatum says, and I love her for her answer.

“I spoke with Candace the other day, and she said the value of the house hasn’t dropped much. It should be an easy sell. I’m looking at a house this weekend. I just wanted to be sure you guys would be alright with it before I did anything permanent.”

“I appreciate that, Trav, but Tate is right. It’s up to you, not us. We’ll help with whatever you need. And my other offer still stands. Let me help with some of the medical bills,” I say, hoping he’ll put his pride aside. I know this house stuff has to be hitting hard enough.

“Thanks, man.” He slaps my back with a head nod.

“Alright, I’m out of here. I need to get some work done since this twerp has been taking up all my time,” I say, ruffling my sister’s hair, earning me a hit to the stomach and a low chuckle from Travis.

Once I get to the hospital, I walk straight to the finance offices. I knock on the door of billing and insurance hell at the hospital. “Come in,” is yelled to me. I push inside, and when the woman sees me, she pauses and stares for a beat. “Can I help you, Dr. Duncan?” I’m surprised she knows me since I’ve never been here before, but I don’t question it.

“I have a question for you. Do you have a minute?”

“Sure. Have a seat.”

I sit and cross my ankle over my knee. “We get discounts and freebies for family care, right?” I ask, jumping straight to the point.

“Well, it depends on the case and what insurance won’t cover.”

“What about with our sister hospitals?”

“Depends even more.
