Jason chuckled. “That’s fine. Just let him know it’s okay to talk to me and I’ll include those in your will and he and I will work together to setup a trust fund for Ava.”
“Thanks Jason.”
“You going to the be executor’s of each other’s estates?” He asked.
They looked at each other. “You’ll guide me with his?” Skylar asked.
“Yes, most likely Steve and I will since his is beyond what I’m capable of as well.”
“Then yes,” Skylar replied. “If that is what you want?” She asked Luka.
“It’s what I want. Jason, I would also like to make a provision for my mother to ensure she has whatever she needs.”
“Absolutely,” he replied. “What did you have in mind?”
“I’m not sure. Something that says if she needs money for the ranch she has her own self-funding trust maybe? Does that make sense?”
“An account that she can draw from and if it gets low Steve funds it?”
“Yes,” Luka replied.
“Sure. I can work that out with him too.”
Luka looked at Skylar. “I don’t suppose you would let me setup something like that for you?” He asked her.
“Hell no,” she answered.
Luka licked his lips. Then he looked across the desk. “Set that up for Skylar as well in case she’s homeless someday and needs it.” She scowled at Luka hard. Then she turned her head away.
Jason made more notes. “Give me about a week, I’ll have the wills and the trust documents for you to sign. Sound good?” He asked.
“Thanks,” they both said at the same time.
Luka rose first from his chair. He shook hands with Jason. “I guess the cage fighting paid off Luka.”
“It did,” he replied quietly. “Are you coming Skylar?”
“I just have one more question?” Skylar asked. She rose from her chair. “About how long until Ava’s changes are made?”
“About sixty-to ninety days usually Sky. Why?”
“I was hoping the changes would be done before school started. You know how the school will be, she’ll have to use her official name. I wanted it to be Ava Shaw when she started. It will be tough enough getting everyone to change her name at the beginning.”
Jason glanced at the calendar. Then he looked at her. “We’re cutting it close at sixty days. I’ll see what I can do to get that accomplished.”
“Thanks Jason.”
He walked with them to the entrance of his office space and held the door open. He had known both of them having done business with their fathers for a very long time. “I’ll be in touch next week,” he told them.
Skylar walked across the street ahead of Luka. She hadn’t realized that MMA fighting could be so lucrative. “Are you going to talk to me?” Luka asked. She shook her head no. “Why not?” He asked.
Because she couldn’t put into words how she felt right now. She glanced over her shoulder at him. His stride was long having no difficulty keeping up with hers if anything he was struggling to keep from passing her by. He opened her door for her. Skylar slipped onto the seat and put her hand onto the door to prevent Luka from closing it immediately. her eyes met his.
“You found what you were looking for,” she declared.
He clenched his jaw tight. His gaze never left her face. “No,” he said with an adamant tone. “I was still missing something.”
He shoved her hand down and shut the door. Then he walked behind the truck. He got inside and slammed the door behind him. Luka started it up and put his arm behind her seat and turned, his eyes caught hers for a moment.
