"Are we seriously shaving the old man? Reckon he would prefer his bearded looks?" Yasmin eyed Riley who was wielding a shaving stick with a very concentrated look in her eyes.
"Yas, I have to do something, okay? I can't stand being idle. Atlas has been in the hospital for two days. Freya had to clock in at work since yesterday. Reese is doing something so secretive I don't even care to know what it is. The parents are busy. And Aveline? Ave darling is in a stupid coma. So forgive me if I need to do something to get my mind off how awful these past few days have been."
"Go to the gym.".
"Huh?!"
"You're bored, right? Go to the gym. Read a book. Pick a hobby. Accept the job from Theo. Do something other than shaving your grandfather's beards off."
"He's technically your grandfather too?"
"No thanks. Mine are dead, and that's fine. I have come to terms with the fact that I'm alone in the world."
