What family looks like (4)

The conversation quickly shifted from Nolan to the family finding out what everyone had been doing in their spare time.

Victor found himself unable to stop smiling. Dinner with Scarlet's family was far different from what he experienced in all his years of having dinner with his parents.

Everyone at the table seemed genuinely interested in knowing what someone was doing. There wasn't any bickering. Only laughter as they shared jokes.

While today was off to a rocky start, Victor thought it was the most he had ever felt relaxed. First, he had enjoyed drinking with Owen and now he got to experience what family was to look like. Dinner should be used to enjoy food and be caught up on what everyone was doing, not eating in silence to then yell at each other.

Not only did Ian's return make it possible to finally have a brother, but Victor found himself a family he hoped to blend in with.
