“I’d like to see you try.”
Riley stood.
Nikki grabbed his arm. “Sit your ass down.”
The others cackled with laughter.
“Just so you know, I could,” Riley said to Evan.
“If your mom lets you come out to play.”
Nikki released her husband. “Go kick his ass.”
Evan took off running as Riley chased after him, the two of them laughing their asses off as they collided in a wrestling match right in the middle of the big dance floor.
“Fools,” Grace said. “Will they ever grow up?”
“Probably not,” Nikki replied.
A crowd had gathered to watch the cousins’ wrestling match.
“And people say I’m the jackass of the family,” Mac said.
Where had he come from?
Evan took his attention off Riley for one fateful second and ended up pinned to the floor by his younger cousin.
“Say uncle,” Riley said, grunting from the strain of holding Evan in place.
“Eff you.”
“Uncle.”
“Whatever.”
“I’ve got all night, bro.”
“Fine. Uncle. You win. Are you happy?”
“You bet I am.” Riley stood and extended a hand to help Evan up.
Evan gave a mighty pull and had Riley pinned to the floor in two seconds flat. “Who’s your uncle now, bro?”
“Your ten-minute break is up, Evan,” Nikki said.
She was the manager of the Wayfarer.
“I’m doing this gig for free.”
“Get back to it before people get bored and go home.”
“Welp, we can’t have that, but let’s call this one a draw, cousin.”
“I beat you fair and square,” Riley said as he dusted himself off.
“Keep telling yourself that,” Evan said as he went to say hi to his brother Mac.
“Thanks for distracting me at the worst possible time.”
