Chapter 7

Sean was the kind of guy who made friends quickly, and it wasn't long before he and Robert were chatting like old buddies.

"Hey, Robert, how did you and my sister get together? Was it fate, or just a lucky string pulling you two together from miles apart?"

Robert chuckled, not bothering to hide anything. "If I had to choose from your options, I'd say it was more like a lucky string pulling us together, with a bit of fate thrown in."
