“They wouldn’t ever let anyone dictate what made them happy. If Ben doesn’t do that for you, then, by all means, keep his butt on the sidelines. But if he does, I mean truly does, think of what your future might be missing without him in it.”
Ben chose that time to return.Thank freakin’ God.I wasn’t sure how much longer I could sit without squirming under his grandfather’s scrutiny. It was like taking love advice from my boss. Neither was on my bucket list.
“Thanks, Grandpa.”
I quickly rose from my seat. “Thanks for the advice. It was a pleasure meeting you.”
Malcolm chuckled as he stood. “You two enjoy your day. Come back and visit anytime.”
No way was I planning to do that. Malcolm Michaels was like a human lie detector. I could see it in his eyes, the way he watched me as we talked. I’d even venture a guess that Ben had the same trait, and that was what made him such a great attorney. I followed Ben out of the house and was heading to the car when he took my hand and steered me to the barn instead.
“Now for the real reason we came here.”
