Look, I know this is a lot to take in. I'm not gonna lay my whole life down at your feet in one day. You were never one for big surprises so I went about this the wrong way, but part of me feels like if I had just pretended to be someone else and you had found out another way, that'd make a worse impression.
If you want to know things down the line though, I am more than happy to be accommodating. If you don't, that's fine too. Your life is yours. I don't change that.
Here's some good to latch on to, this place is east coast America. It's a smaller town than Newark, but it's definitely not Hawaii. Your Steve seems to have come along with you. Grace is here. Though I should warn you, she's here at a couple different ages. Mine being the eldest here.
And everything here is pretty much free since we're stuck here, the locals have been pretty hospitable. I'm about to start college for nothing.
