"Who's he?" Nate asked, his gaze sharpening.
Lena's brain flatlined for a solid three seconds before she practically yelled, "Uncle Aaron?! What are you doing

answer me. Who's he?"
"Her boyfriend," Nate said smoothly, carrying Lena into the living room and setting her on the couch.
Lena shot up from the couch. "Uncle Aaron! You show up once in a blue moon, and today you just pop in
unannounced? No heads-up from you or Mom? Seriously?"
