Chapter 47: Dinner With Evelyn
Chapter 45
Alan muttered under his breath as we walked up to Gramma Evelyn's front steps, "We'll eat, we'll go."
"No coffee, no dessert," Charlie added quickly.
"We can't be rude," Alan snapped, just as I reached out and pressed the doorbell.
The faint sound of jazz trickled through the door.
We exchanged glances.
A moment later, Evelyn opened the door, perfectly composed as always.
"Hi, Mom," Charlie said, giving her his best innocent smile.
"Better late than never," Evelyn replied dryly.
"We're right on time," Alan said, checking his watch.
Evelyn smiled thinly. "I was referring to the big picture."
I raised a brow and said, half-joking, "We've had vacation together for more than two weeks, Gramma. That's pretty big picture, right?"
