The Russell family was made up of different categories; some were devious while other were cunning. They were like predators who would wait for their prey to fall and attack when they were at their bottom. He couldn't introduce Genevieve to that type of family; she wasn't ready to be introduced to their ways, how they talked, how they acted, and how they would hurt anyone who double-crossed them.
He knew his family could be sweet and odd at all times. He loves his family, but Genevieve isn't ready yet to meet them.
"You aren't ready to meet them yet Eve," he told her but got a snort as her reply.
"Just as I thought. You can't give me the bullshit that I'm not ready to meet them when you clearly don't want me to meet them because you are ashamed of me," she noticed how he looked at her in shock.
