Who doesn't love sports cars, right? Upon hearing this, Farley hollered excitedly, "You are my only bro-in-law..."
The way he was acting, if you asked him to call Jarvis dad, he'd probably do it too.
"Jarvis, don't make wild promises. How would he know what a sports car is?" Hannah came downstairs in her pajamas and tugged Farley's ear. "If you want a sports car, earn it yourself. Don't expect handouts."
Farley ducked his head. "It was hw who offered, not me asking for it."
Jarvis, "Well, he did call me bro-in-law so nicely, so I decided to give it to him."
Hannah, "Jarvis, don't make promises you can't keep."d2
Jarvis, "Only promises that can't be fulfilled are unfulfillable. When he turns eighteen, I'll gift him an Aston Martin, that's a promise kept."
Aston Martin! That car was too pricey, most folks wouldn't even dare dream about it. But in Farley's heart, no car, no matter how fancy, could compare to Hannah. "Hannah, the car's not important, seeing you is."
He spread his arms. "I want a hug."
Hannah found his behavior somewhat annoying, but she opened her arms and embraced him anyways. "You're all grown up now but still acting like a kid, always demanding hugs."
Farley grinned. "You said no matter how old I get, I'll always be your little brother."
Hannah, "You better go ask Dad for two hundred dollars. It's for Dales. Dales' kid might need help with math homework, you're going to help him."
Farley, "I don't want to leave you."
Hannah, "Up to you, I won't force you. Go ask Dad for the money, and give it to Dales. Make sure he accepts it. Once you're done, hurry back for the grilled fish."
Farley, "Where's Dad? I've been back for a while and haven't seen him yet."
