That time the douchey stripper gets hit in the face
Who: Will, Ben and Sloane Where: The Stone House (Parental Version) When: Noontime What: It started off as a family meal
Michael Stone, Will's father, was the closest thing the Stone family had to a patriarch, and was today turning 62. Only a year or so older than his brother, Ben's father, it still marked an important occasion for them all to collect and honor the man over a meal.
Not that it was quite so stuffy as that, none of them would be able to stand for that much formality.
Knowing how he felt about Sloane, Will had thought it the perfect time to introduce her to his father and step-mother and had been quite pleased over the warm reception they had given the woman he loved (even if he hadn't told her so). He was all bright grins and the fingers of one hand intertwined with Sloane's, entirely missing his step-brother Derek's lack of friendliness and general prickish attitude. It wasn't that he was being more oblivious than normal, just that that was how Derek normally acted.
