A Free Relationship
"Thanks, Seth. Off working abroad, yet you still find time to help me with my divorce agreement."
"Well, you are my cousin."
"Oh, you remember that?" Ethan's voice was cold, laced with a hint of anger.
Seth looked down and suppressed a smile. He then scratched behind Coco's ears and pointed at Ethan. "Coco, do you still recognize him?"
Coco simply cocked her head, tongue lolling out in a goofy grin.
Ethan crouched down and reached out to pet Coco's head, but she instinctively stepped back and hid behind Seth's legs. Ethan's hand hovered awkwardly in the air.
