The girl bows repeatedly and promises not to do this again. She runs out of the living room, she is probably going to go and cry in the kitchen.

Mrs Blanchard smiles brightly, like she hasn't just insulted Gray and his friend here.

“Sorry, Gray, for the interruption, as we were saying….”

Dan walks into the house.

Dan is Wendy's elder brother. He is a married woman with two kids, but he is the laziest bump that has ever existed.

He doesn't work, instead, he goes around telling people how rich his family WAS. He cheats on his wife and drinks around the city. He is also a certified Mama's boy.

As soon as he walks in, he notices his ex brother-in-law and he smirks as he walks closer.

“Is this Gray? In the flesh after so many years? To be honest, I think that you are dead.” He goes up to his mother, gives him a kiss and sits next to her.

“Dan Blanchard,” Gray nods. “I thought that you would change, but you haven't…”

Gray notices the expensive shoes and watch that Dan is putting on.
