I shrug, feigning nonchalance. “She didn’t leave me. It was just time for her to head home.”

Mac:
I saw the Oktoberfest pictures. I had no idea it was a much bigger festival than the fall one.
Bishop:
It’s becoming one of the biggest festivals in the Northeast. You should swing by next year.
Mac:
I might if I’m around.
Bishop:

Mac:

Mac:
He doesn’t want me to sell my condo. Paul, one of my brothers, had a similar issue and is helping me. It seems like I’m not the only one who doesn’t like my dad.

Bishop:
We just helped her with that, in case your dad wanted to come and fuck with her.
Mac:
Thank you so much for looking after her.
Bishop:
Have you spoken to Genie?
