Grey and I decided to go to the bar to get some food.

The only reason we decided on Easton's bar for food was because I was craving fried pickles and wings. My brother so happened to have come up with the best wing flavors I've ever had in my life.

When we walked in, I walked into Easton's office to say 'hi' but Easton was nowhere to be found.

I turned around and walked to the table where Grey was sitting.

"He's not here, he must have gone home already," I said as I took a seat.

One of the waitresses named Emily came over and took our orders. I got every single flavor of wings and two baskets of fried pickles along with buckets of ranch.

The food came out and we both sat there indulging in nasty fried food as we talked about random things.

Grey and I always talk about things that I have never talked to anyone about.

It's always fun having conversations with Grey.

"I have never eaten so much human food in my entire existence." Grey sat back in the booth and placed his hand on his stomach.

"I know I have but I still feel like I'm about to burst out of my clothes." Grey's laugh filled my ears.

"I wouldn't mind seeing that."

I reached across the table and slapped his shoulder. "You creep that's nasty, you would want every guy in here to see me without clothes on?" I crossed my arms over my chest.

"No, and if any man did I would kill them before their feet crossed the threshold...but that doesn't stop my imagination."

My eyes scanned him before meeting his eyes as we stared intensely at each other.

"Will that be all for you guys today?" Emily said handing me a to-go of my sweet tea, breaking mine and Grey's eye contact.

"Yeah, that will be all thanks Emily, you can just take it out of my check," I said handing her a $50 tip.

We slid out of the booth and walked out of the bar. We both walked back to the house admiring the beautiful weather.

The weather in Saranac was always my favorite part about living in the States.

During summer, it was hot and sunny.

During the fall, the leaves changed colors and the air was crisp.

During the winter, it was nice and cold with lots of snow.

During spring, all the flowers bloomed and the sun came out again. It is a nice cycle and I enjoy it very much.

When we walked into the house, no one was in the kitchen or the living room.

"I'll be upstairs," Grey said giving me a kiss on my cheek. Grey is still adjusting and he isn't on the comfort level with my brother's yet to have full-on conversations with them.

I don't blame him. I can't imagine being in his position. Well, actually I can because I know what it feels like to run even if you don't want to.

I gave him a quick nod since no words could come out of my mouth after Grey kissed me.

I headed into Nick's room to find him cleaning. He is currently on his hands and knees scrubbing his bedroom floor like there is no tomorrow.

"Where is the real Nick? Cooking and cleaning all in one day?" I said dropping him a box of food that I picked up for him.

"Oh shut up. I clean all the time." I gave Nick a hard side-eye. The last time I saw Nick clean was in the 1700s when Easton made him get a job.

"I'm going to break your neck if you dont leave me alone," Nick said eyeing me from the floor.
