“Hey, Steve.”

“Hey, Trent. I’m just here to pick up Hana.”

“I think she’s out back with the boys. Look, you got a sec? I wanted you to hear this from me before my father’s lawyers got to you.”

“Uh. Am I…getting fired?”

“No, no, nothing like that. Sorry. It’s just that my father included your daughter in his will.”

“Uh…what?”

“I know, it’s really weird--”

“Is that even legal? She’s only five. What the hell? Let me see.”

“Here, I’ve got a copy.”

Minutes later, Trent watched as Steve gave Hana a light pat on the head after he collected her from the boys, saying, “Yay for Hana!”

Hana was grinning and saying, “Yay for Papa!”

Trent sighed as his last shred of hope left him.
