Ryan POV
Grandpa remembered my warning and changed the subject.
“I still have heard little about Scarlett’s family. What do they do? Does her adoptive mother work?”
“There’s no rush. I’ll tell you later.”
I wasn’t ready to explain everything.
Scarlett and I weren’t actually dating yet, and Grandpa still didn’t know she’d been married before.
At his age, he could be stubborn about things like that. I wanted to ease him into the idea before I told him.
“Tell me now. I want to understand.”
I shook my head.
“Later.”
Grandpa stared at me. His expression slowly hardened.
“What’s wrong with her family?”
I nearly sighed.
“Nothing. Her family is perfectly respectable.”
“Then why can’t you tell me?”
“Because we’re not at the point where we’re talking about marriage yet.
