“I invited him,” Kevin said, joining them.

Mick didn’t even try to hide his dismayed reaction.

“Now, why would you do that?”

“Because I’m going to work for him, so you’re probably going to be seeing a lot more of him,” his traitorous son announced. “Today, we have some things we need to do.”

“No way in hell!” Mick said, banging his fist on the table as he rose to his feet. He was the same height as his brother, and they had a similar build that came with doing heavy work, often in harsh weather. The similarities mostly ended there. Thomas was a damn tree hugger. Mick respected some of what he did and certainly why he did it, but Thomas would fight to save a gnat that was biting the heck out of him. Mick figured there were some creatures that deserved getting smacked.

“It’s my choice,” Kevin said mildly, even as Mick glared at Thomas.

“What kind of sneaky, underhanded tricks did he use to convince you of that?” Mick demanded. Given his low opinion of Thomas, who’d backstabbed him more than once when they were getting permits to build Chesapeake Shores, Mick wouldn’t put it past his brother to have brainwashed his son.

“He didn’t,” Kevin said. “Mother did.”

That took the wind right out of Mick. He sat down heavily. Megan had had a hand in this? What had she been thinking? She knew how much bad blood there was between him and Thomas, yet she’d gone right ahead and encouraged their son to form an alliance with his uncle. Mick wasn’t sure he’d be able to forgive Megan for that. Maybe she’d been paying him back for not being around this past weekend. If so, she couldn’t have picked a crueler way.

“She didn’t do this just to get even with you,” Kevin said, evidently reading his mind. “She just reminded me of the way I used to ask so many questions whenever Thomas was around, how interested I was in what he did. What she said made a lot of sense.”

“And that was enough to send you running off to Annapolis?” Mick asked in disbelief. Kevin nodded. “I’m really excited about this, Dad. I’ll be doing something that matters.”

“Being a paramedic mattered,” Mick said, even though he could see the handwriting on the wall. Kevin’s mind was made up, and if he wanted his son to be happy, there was only so much he could say about this cockamamy plan of his. Kevin’s expression shut down.

“Sorry,” Mick said stiffly. “I know you don’t want to go back to that, but this? Are you sure?”

“More sure than I am about most things,” Kevin said.

“It’s what he was destined to do,” Thomas said quietly.

“Mick, you and I may not see eye to eye about much, but we both love the bay. We both know how close it is to being ruined forever. It’s going to take time to get it right, maybe more time than I have. We need the next generation involved.”

“And I’m sure it pleases you that it’s my son you’ve enlisted,” Mick grumbled.
