Chapter 48: The Lesson Ride
Chapter 46
Alan was driving, Charlie sitting in the front passenger seat, and I was in the middle of the back seat, watching the road roll by.
"So, what did we learn today?" Alan asked, using his best professor voice while keeping his eyes on the road.
"That we need to bring wine," I offered.
"No."
"That Gramma trusts me more than Dad. Even if the woman was, like, 30."
"No," Alan repeated, now sounding personally offended.
"I would too," Charlie muttered under his breath.
Alan turned and shot him a glare.
"That Gramma thinks she seems younger if a twelve-year-old says she's the mother... despite having two adults pushing forty standing next to her?" I continued.
"I'm thirty-six, Jake," Alan said, completely indignant.
Charlie raised an eyebrow and turned slowly toward him. "How are you thirty-six if I'm thirty-five?"
