“Exactly,” I say with a grin “Let’s get to it ”

Garrett just left my apartment and we have worked out a solid plan, which in my estimation will put Sutton in a position where she has no choice but to take me back We had to call Glenn first, to make sure he was on board, because he’s instrumental to the plot

The little dude was not happy to hear from me, which was beyond adorable I round Sutton walks on far more than he does my terra firma

“Hi, Dad ”

“Alex…buddy…what’s going on?”

He sounds jovial and clear, which is a good sign I take that tosober, a concern I’ve worried over every single day since he visited a feeeks ago
