A Family Kind of Wedding (1998)
“Luke had never thought he’d say those particular words. Since he’d grown up poor, he’d thought, for as long as he could remember, that money could buy him happiness. Not that he needed a lot. Just enough to get by and give himself a little nest egg so he wouldn’t have to work until he was ninety. But he’d changed his mind. Katie Kinkaid had seen to that.
Ralph Sorenson, on the other end of the line and woken from what must have been a deep sleep, wasn’t in the mood for Luke’s change of heart. “...You earned it, boy. It’s yours.”
“No.”
“What the devil happened to you?”
I fell in love. “I just had a change of heart.” That wasn’t a lie.
“You’re just mad ‘cause I called my grandson’s mother before squarin’ it with you,” Ralph said. “Well, I admit I was a little impatient, but then you’ve got to understand there’s no reason to wait. That boy is Dave’s son. Our grandson. It’s time we met.”
“I don’t think that’ll be a problem.”
“So you’ll get paid.”MoreLess
