"Only five days left before Victor Winters returns. How do you feel about that?" Rowan chugs down his glass of wine before he smirks at me.
Fucker.
He knows I'm not happy about Victor returning, and he is not going to miss a chance to rub it in my face.
"I can ask the organization to extend the program if you want." He bumps his shoulder to mine, his face too close.
I push him away and stand up from the bar stool. "No need. Lyra misses him. ".
I would love the extension of the program, trust me, but Lyra has been disturbed these past few days. She needs Victor; she needs her problem-solver, Grandpa.
I hope she relied on me more, the way she does on her grandpa, but I know I can't replace him in her heart. He was there for her since she was a baby, while she has only known me for a month. Well technically she met me 2 years ago, but yeah, she has known me for a month.
If I delay Victor's return, Lyra will be upset, and I don't want that.
