Of course she did; she took after Aiden in that she was wicked book smart. Street smarts… well, she also took after him in that, not so much.
Brianna seemed to be the exact opposite.
Not that his youngest wasn’t smart when it came to school. She just didn’t give a damn. In that regard, she was a lot like her mother. He was convinced she only went to school to socialize. It’d gotten worse since she turned thirteen.
Aiden: That’s my girl.
Brianna: Mom thinks you should buy her a car for her sixteenth birthday.
It pissed him off that Susan said shit like that in front of them.
Aiden: We’ve got plenty of time before we have to think about that.
He knew he really didn’t. Six months was going to fly by, and the next thing he’d know, his little girl would turn sixteen and he’d be turning forty-two. Where did the time go?
Aiden: We still on for this weekend?
Kailey: Mom wants to leave on Saturday morning. She says it’s going to take two days to get there. She was going to call and talk to you about it.
Aiden: You guys aren’t flying?
Brianna: Mom’s gotten cheap since the divorce, Dad.
Yeah, she probably had. Aiden doubted her German tennis pro could keep her in the lifestyle she’d become accustomed to being a doctor’s wife.
He suspected Bjorn’s future in Aiden’s old house was going to be short-lived. Susan would trade up soon enough.
Aiden: Sorry, ladies. Road trips can be fun, though.
Brianna: Fun. Yeah, right. Two days in a car with Mom and Bjorn… it’s going to be torture.
Aiden: You’ll have your cell phones; you’ll be fine. When I was a kid, car ride entertainment consisted of playing the license plate game or I Spy. Consider yourselves lucky.
Brianna: Did they even have license plates back then?
Aiden: Har har. You’re pretty funny for someone who’s going to want a working cell phone in a few days.
Brianna: I’m sorry, Daddy! You’re young and handsome!
She included a GIF of a male model with the caption:David Gandy’s got nothing on my dad!
Aiden: Nice save.
Aiden: I’d still like to see you before you go. I’ll talk to your mother about you staying Thursday night and bringing you home Friday after dinner, if that works for you.
Kailey: That works for me!
Brianna: Me too!
Aiden: Let’s plan on that, then. If something changes, I’ll let you know. Love you both.
Brianna:LuvU2!
Kailey: Love you, too!
He slid his phone into his pocket with a sigh. That meant he was going to have to call Susan back.
He decided to wait until after lunch to do so. Eating when he was irritated wasn’t good for his digestion.
