This is my third Greene summer bash and I’m looking forward to it. It’s always a great night that no family member is supposed to miss, including the ones who marry in. The Greenes always wrap us up in their warm blanket, reminding us time and time again that we’re family.
Cade and I pull in the driveway, Xavier and my sister Clara right behind us. Cade doesn’t pull all the way up in case the boys want to play basketball later. After a few beers, there’s usually someone egging someone else on, which turns into a night game.
“Hey!” Clara says when she gets out of the fancy SUV Xavier can afford courtesy of his professional football career.
Clara and Xavier are childhood friends who spend a crapload of time together. Lots of the Greenes think they must have a secret friends-with-benefits
