V4 ch33 Graduation

Ryan showed up earlier than expected, meeting us at the football stadium for the graduation walk. He shook hands with all of us from Grampa, all the way down to me.

"What are you doing here?" Noah asked, confused. "Is it normal for agents to go to high school graduations?"

"Noah." Mom gave him a pointed look. "I think it's very nice and thoughtful he wanted to celebrate with us."

"Sure, I guess." Noah discreetly rolled his eyes my way.

I nudged him. "It's probably Kyle's contract." I whispered to remind him.

Noah immediately turned to Ryan. "Did you already negotiate the contract? What kind of salary and bonus is he looking at?"

Ryan glanced at Mom and Dad. "Would you guys like to hear about it first? Or wait until we sit down with Kyle?"

"Of course we should wait for Kyle." Mom made the command decision. She gave Noah another pointed look.
