“Hargrove Brothers, of course.” Neal said lightly.
“Really?”
“I think it’s time I learned the family business.”
“But you’ve never shown any interest,” George said in mild shock.
“Because I was scared to mess it up,” Neal admitted freely.
“And you’re not scared anymore?”
“Oh, I’m still terrified,” Neal said with a chuckle, “but I still want to do it.”
“Wow,” George breathed, “Elena’s really made a difference in you.”
“She has,” Neal said sincerely, “but it’s more than that. I want to do this for Dad, and I want to do it for myself.”
“You’re sure?”
“Positive,” Neal replied.
“The job will be hard,” George warned.
“True, but I’ve already got one thing going for me.”
“What’s that?” George asked.
“My boss already loves me,” Neal said with a wink.
Together, they laughed.
