After the New Year Nox "Dad, are you sure it isn't time for you to go back to London or maybe Savannah?" "You're stuck with us until our grandson arrives," Oren said with a grin. I eyed him up and down. "I do admit, this family-man thing is looking good on you." "I know...I should have tried it

"Oren," Vincent's voice bellowed through the entry. "Vincent..." I turned toward his son. "…and Luca, welcome." Luca had matured since I'd seen him last. How long had that been? "Well, you see," Vincent said, "we weren't sure how we'd be greeted. We weren't invited." I reached out my hand and sho
