Ryan picked me up at seven. It gave me ample time to go home, shower, and change. He asked if I’d mind hanging out at his place to watch a movie and order in, apologizing afterward that he’d make up taking me out another time. There was no need for apologies on his part. His idea sounded perfect.

“Are you okay?” He seemed off, tense, during the drive to his apartment.

“Yeah, I’m fine. The guys pissed me off before I picked you up which is why I’d prefer to stay in. Again, I hope you don’t mind.”

“Not at all. I’m perfectly content being with you, no matter what we do or where we are.”

He brought our joined hands to his lips and kissed mine, something he did often. “That’s nice of you to say.”

“It’s the truth.”

“See, my mood is better already.”

“You’re full of shit. If you want to talk, I consider myself to be a good listener.”

“Ditto for me. How was my grandfather today?”

So much for him opening up to me.

“He had fun. We did art and music. That man loves music. He’ll either clap along or sway to the rhythm of the songs.”

“He’s the one who encouraged me to play the piano. My parents were against the idea so the sly guy he is, he bought me a keyboard and kept it at his house. He lived nearby so I’d go there to practice. My folks were clueless. When they found out, all hell broke loose, but by then it was too late. I was hooked. Nothing could stop me, not even their threats, which were all bullshit, mind you.” The corner of his lip ticked up.

“Your grandfather sounds like he was very supportive.”

“Beyond supportive. More so than my own parents.”

“Why were they so against you pursuing music?”

He glanced at me and tilted his head to the side, smirking. “I think that’s every parent’s nightmare. How many musicians actually make it? Mine didn’t have faith I would. My grandpa did.”

“I now see why you’re spending so much time with him.”

“Yeah. You should hear the man sing too. You’d be shocked that such a small man has such a powerful voice. Once I played actual songs, we would sing together. Those were the days.” He nodded to himself.

“What about your grandma, Carol?”

“She passed away quite young, in her fifties. She had cancer that went undiagnosed. My grandpa said no one could take her place, so he remained single all these years.”

“So, in addition to being a supportive grandfather, he was also a loyal and dedicated husband.”

“Don’t forget father. He was an incredible father to my dad.”

“You’re lucky to have him. Oh, on a different note, I spoke with one of the other servers, and she agreed to cover my shift on Saturday night.”

“Excellent because I went ahead and booked our reservation for Friday. We’ll head out first thing in the morning so we can have a full day at the resort.”

“I can’t wait.”

“Neither can I.”

He pulled into the garage under his building and parked the car.
