“What the fuck, bro?” He laughed. “For what?”
“Lily is having some boy over to the house tomorrow. She said he’s coming over to study. I want to put a little scare into the kid in case he gets any ideas about my daughter.”
“Jesus Christ, Stefan.” I chuckled.
“You’re in luck. I’m off tomorrow. What time is this kid coming over?”

“Ask me that in nine years,” Nathan replied. “Besides, no boy can keep up with her.” He laughed.
“And you, Sammy?” Stefan asked.
“As long as the boy is a clean freak, Sammy will welcome him with open arms.” Simon laughed.

“Damn right,” Simon said as he tipped the beer bottle to his lips.
“As fun as this has been, I have to get to bed,” I spoke as I stood up. “Do me a favor and catch a wave for me. I’ll see you guys tomorrow.”

“Hey, Dr. Kind. How is my brother doing?”
“Everything looks good.” I smiled.
“I can’t thank you enough. If you and your fiancée hadn’t met with him, I—”
“It’s okay. I’m happy we were there too.”
“Unfortunately, I can’t stay. I have to help my wife with the flower delivery for a wedding. I feel awful that I have to leave.”
“Don’t. I know he was worried about it, and it’s what he’d want you to do.”
“When will the tumor results come back?” he asked.
“In a couple of days. But I’m confident it’s benign.”
“How can you tell?”
“I’ve removed a lot of tumors in my career, and I’ve only ever been wrong once.”
