Chapter One – Brad

H appy birthday, bro ! Angelo smacks me on the back hard. Thirty five years old. Who’d have thought it? I don’t think any of us believed you’d live this long.

Yeah, okay. Alex pats me on the arm. Instead of giving each other shit, we should be giving you shit since it’s your birthday.

That isn’t what I meant... I try, but of course, no one is listening in. They’ve got a common goal now and it’s to torment me. I better buckle up.

Yeah, I think we need to talk about your age, bro, Oliver smirks. "Your age and the fact that you haven’t settled down. I mean, what other thirty
