At 5:00, Scott climbed the steps to the lodges back deck and knocked on the kitchen door. Small pounding feet preceded the moment Grant opened the door.
Hi, Mr. Scott!
Hi, there, young Jedi, he grinned.
Were gonna have popcorn and watch a movie before bedtime, the boy told him. Uncle Blake said so.
Scott nodded. Well, if your Uncle Blake said so, I believe it.
Blake entered the kitchen, Emma giggling as she rode on his shoulders. Blake scanned Scott from head to toe. Hed pulled his hair into a knot at the back of his head. His light blue button-down topped dark skinny jeans, and hed opted for tan suede boots.
Scott pursed his lips wryly. Do I look good enough to be seen with your sister?
Shell be the judge of that, Blake quipped, but Id go out with you.
A moment later, Amy came downstairs. Ooh, Scott, you look nice. Scott gave Blake a look. Jackie will be down in just a minute.
