I glance at Luka. “And what’s your excuse, Mister Edgelord?”
My youngest brother flips me off. “None of your business, jerk. Now, tell me which niece is which again?”
Natalya laughs at our antics. “Here, let me show you.”
While Luka greets my children with Natalya, I pull Pyotr aside.
“How’s Dad been?” I ask under my breath.
“Good. He visits from time to time, though our mother doesn’t makes those visits particularly pleasant.”
“How has the new rehabilitation program been treating him?”
“Not too bad. Some memories are still locked away, but he’s regained a lot of his independence. They’ll be driving down tomorrow to join us for dinner. I think it’ll be good for him to see you again.”
“Yeah, I’ve been looking forward to it.”
Luka stretches. “Alright, fine,” he says to Natalya.
My wife’s face lights up. “Really? You mean it?”
“I just don’t want you to get your hopes up. Go in with absolutely zero expectations.”
“What’s going on?” I ask.
Natalya grins. “Luka says he’ll come seeCatswith us.”
I throw my head back and laugh. I guess I owe her a thousand dollars.
