Crossing Towns RPG

[Backdated to Matty's Birthday]

Matty gets a nice card from Claire and a mall gift card to spend however he wants! And this t-shirt causeithoughtitwascute.

In an effort to make it up to the boys that they don't have a dad around, Claire took Jay and Clay out for a special brunch on Sunday morning.

Merv receives: this on a t-shirt and this book.

The card says:

Merv,

I'm so glad we've grown closer because I would never have gotten to see what a good man and a great father you are. Thank you for all you've done for my little ones, it means the world to me.

Love,
Claire

Kyle receives: this little plaque and this book.

The card says:

Kyle,

If Jay and Clay can't have a dad of their own, then I'm glad you're in their life. I couldn't ask for a better male influence for them. Thank you always for everything you do for them, you'll never know what it means to all of us.

WHO: Kyle Bonifacio & Claire Davis
WHAT: Kyle thinks the town believes he's the resident bad father so he's drowning sorrow in coffee & work.
WHERE: Java Joe's in the central part of town.
RATING: PG

Kyle always meant well where his older child was concerned, but often came up short. He was always hard-pressed to explain how they wound up bickering which killed him since he enjoyed looking to books for answers, but there didn't seem to be any easy solutions for this conundrum. Also, though he loathed to admit it, Brady's assertion that Kyle was dismissing Tyler's feelings hurt (mostly because Ty never bothered to correct the wayward Ashford son). He tried talking to Lauren about it, but the conversation turned tense as it usually did when it brought the child from her first marriage into it. Again, Kyle couldn't quite grasp why.

Feeling alone, Kyle decided to head to Java Joe's after a quick dinner with Michelle and Lauren. He spent about 40 minutes doing extra work on his laptop before inundating his Google engine with "dealing with teenagers," "handling teenagers," "fathers and sons" "step-fathers and step-sons," and every other related term that sprung to mind.
