"Yeah, I did. Still do." John smiled ruefully, thinking about some of the things he'd said to his mother over those last months. "I probably would have a few lectures coming to me if she were here. I don't think you have to worry, though. I don't know anyone with a bigger heart than you, Savannah. It's hard not to see all that love when it's directed at you day in and day out, even if you don't know how to appreciate it at the time."
John laughed at her repetition of what sounded exactly like Brian's thoughts on weddings. "Dinner with the newlyweds might be a bit domestic for Brian. But, if you can get him to say yes to the invite, sure." He winked at her. "I'm not dumb enough to turn down your food when offered."
"I'll keep an eye on them," he promised, not at all sure cancelling still wouldn't be better. Her problems with Sean weren't what he'd meant. He didn't get why it was so bad to go out without the spouse. But, he wasn't going to push that. Not that he had any idea what to say about things with Sean, either. "I don't know what's going on with him. We don't actually talk much about family and things. More, projects and music and stuff. But, it kind of sounds like he's jealous. Just, do me a favor? Next time he tries to explain something about me, ignore it and just ask me? My world is pretty different from this one and, I guess, yours. So, even what seems similar, probably isn't."
