"Ready for me to kick your butt today?" Andy teased.
Aiden chuckled. "Keep dreaming, brother. Come on, let's go."
Their father joined them, and together they set off for the golf course. The morning sun cast a golden glow over the landscape, making for a picturesque day. As they traveled, a comfortable silence settled between them, each lost in thought.
