The Good Hair Family Sitcom

S2 E7.3: New Year's Eve

Cyrus's POV

While TJ is still gone with Andreas, I remain with Jonah and Walker in the living room, me sitting on a chair across from them on the couch.

"So yeah, apparently Wyatt does have a friend, and his dad is pretty cool," I conclude. "He's seen my movies too."

"That's great," Jonah responds with his regular, friendly smile.

"Yeah," Walker agrees, slightly less smiley. "Making friends, putting photos of them in your wallet...not telling your husband."

If I didn't notice Walker's eye-flick in Jonah's direction, I would be very confused, but clearly this isn't about me.

"I sense some passive aggression here," I state.

"Jonah had a photo of a man in his wallet and won't tell me who it is," Walker explains.

"I don't know who it is," Jonah responds. "What? Do you think I'm having an affair?"

"No, I know you love me too much to do that," Walker says. "I think you joined another band without telling me, and that's a bandmate."

"That was one time!"

"It was twice!"

"You were in bands?" I say, surprised.

"Sort of," Jonah confesses. "They only lasted a couple days each, so I never bothered to tell you guys."

"Country music," Walker says with a chuckle.

"One was rock," Jonah counters.

"Christian rock. It was great until their fans found out the new guitar player was married to a man, and the band started only playing songs in E flat and C sharp as a way to get him to quit without having to kick him out."

"What's wrong with E flat and C sharp?" I question.

"I had to keep detuning and retuning my guitar," Jonah explains. "And there were so many bar chords, which got really annoying."

I nod and lean forward, saying, "So back to this photo of a man in your wallet."

"I swear I don't know who he is," Jonah pushes.

"Can I see it?" I ask.

Jonah takes the photo out from his wallet and passes it across the coffee table to me. Right away, I know who it is, and I smile at the absurdity of Walker and Jonah fighting over an image of this man.

"Yup," I say. "This is my bubbee."

Jonah and Walker both look stunned by that.

"Jonah," Walker starts, "why do you have a photo of Cyrus's grandfather?"

"I gave Jonah that wallet back in college," I answer for him. "I must've forgotten to take it out."

Jonah puts a proud grin on his face and turns to Walker, saying, " Well, I'm no expert on wallets, but I'm pretty sure you owe me an apology."

Walker sighs. "Jonah, I'm sorry for jumping to conclusions."

"It's okay."

"You still love me?"

Jonah shrugs. "Sure, why not?"

My two friends come together for a brief kiss, during which Cece appears behind them holding two plates of pie.

"Isn't this sweet," she says. "Looks like a pie-worthy moment."
