Sometimes I really worry about our son. Luke is a good kid deep down, but so was I, and all I could ever do was get into trouble when I was a kid (and an adult if I'm being honest). The McDonald boys just seem to attract trouble like a magnet to metal. Luke just seemed more lucky than good at staying out of trouble so far. Like me, he can just turn on that smile and charm and get away with whatever he was trying to do without a scratch.
Work had been long and difficult, but I had managed to get away a touch earlier than Lilah, heading home and taking a long shower, trying to get away the grime of the day so that I could relax, have a drink, and calm down after a long day of wheelin' and dealin'.
