“You really are.” Angela smiled as she stared at me.
“Okay then. I’ll see you soon, Rachel.” I walked away as I furrowed my brows.

Igrabbed a beer from the refrigerator and took it outside, where Simon, Christian, and Shaun sat around the fire pit.
“What’s up, fam.” I smiled as I held my hand up to Christian for a high-five.
“Not much.” Christian high-fived me.
I sat down next to him and noticed Simon glaring at me.
“What?” I asked as I brought the bottle to my lips.
“You know what. I saw the video and want you to know we are not related.”
“Nathan said the same thing.” I chuckled.
“What’s going on down here?” Nathan walked over with Nicholas.
“Give me my nephew.” I held out my arms.
“We were just talking about the video your brother made with your kid and Lily.” Simon shook his head.
“Oh, that. I already told him he’s not my brother.”
“Yeah. I just told him we weren’t related either.” Simon took a sip of his beer. “Anyway, I checked into that Henry guy.”
“And?” Shaun asked.
“Unfortunately, as far as I can tell, he's squeaky clean.”
“Why ‘unfortunately?’” Christian chuckled.
“I was hoping to find something on him to throw at my dear mother, but he seems okay.”
“I talked to him at the wedding,” Shaun said. “He’s a decent guy. He used to own a printing company that he sold and retired from a couple of years ago back in Florida.”
“Why did he move out here?” I asked as I held Nicholas in my arms.
“Apparently, his wife passed away, and he figured it was time to move on. I don’t really know. I didn’t ask why he moved here,” Shaun said.
My phone rang, so I handed Nicholas over to Christian and pulled my phone from my pocket.
“Hey, cousins.” I grinned when I answered the Facetime call and saw Grayson and Gabriel.
“Nice video.” Grayson grinned.
“Thank you. Some of your other family members have disowned me.”
“We thought it was hilarious,” Gabriel said.
“If it makes you feel any better, we won’t disown you.” Grayson chuckled.
“I appreciate it. When are you two coming out here for a visit?”
“Excuse me. Can we say hi to our cousins?” Simon asked.
