Chapter 16

RORY POV

I was having trouble finding the words. "My dad and my grandma are coming into town this weekend. They want to have dinner with us." I finally told him. Tristan didn't say anything, so I continued. "But we don't have to if you don't want to."

I looked down at my plate before I realized that Tristan's hand was on top of mine. "Ror, we can go to dinner. It's your family and I know how important your family is to you." Tristan said. I loved how he always knew what to say to me.

"Grandpa Chris is coming to town?" Savannah asked.

I nodded to Savannah. "Are you sure? I don't want you to feel like you have to go." I told him.

"I'm sure." Tris said.

I smiled at him and then looked at the time on my phone. "I have to get back to work. See you tonight?"

"Absolutely." Tristan walked me out, kissed me and we went our separate ways.

When I got back to the office, I decided to call my Grandma and let her know about dinner this weekend. "Hayden residence." The maid answered the phone.

"Yes, is Francine available. It's her granddaughter." I said.

"Just a minute." The maid said.

A minute later, "Hello."

"Hi Grandma, it's Rory." I said.

"Rory, hello darling. How are you?" Grandma Francine said.

"I'm good. Working a lot. Dad said that your coming into town with him this weekend. He asked me if we could all get dinner together. I didn't want to bother him at the office so I thought that I would call you and let you know that Tristan, Savannah and I would love to have dinner with you and Dad this weekend." I said.

"That's great dear. I'm so happy to hear that. Your father and I miss the three of you dearly." Grandma said.

"Thanks Grandma." I paused for a moment and when she didn't say anything I continued. "So, umm did Dad tell you that we're moving back to New York?"

"That's great dear. I hate to run but I have to go pick up your sister for your father."

"Bye Grandma, see you this weekend." I said and hung up.

I spent the rest of the afternoon going through files and organizing. When I got done for the day, I headed towards my boss's office to let him know what was going on. I didn't want to just drop everything without explaining my decision. He was very understanding when I told him that I was leaving for my family. When I left the office, I had packed up my stuff and I headed home.
