"Yeah yeah, fine, I get it, I'm not getting out of this one." There was an exasperated fondness in his voice that only came out when he was talking to one of the women in his life, although the smile that crinkled the corners of his mouth was unique to Anye. He tried not to think about how she brought things like that out of him without trying.
He didn't blame Anye for being well off as a kid. Maybe he would have resented it if he had met her when he was a little older, maybe even just five years later, but at the age he was he was just in awe and grateful that they were sharing what they had with him. Since then he had definitely met the wrong kind of rich people, so he knew the difference, and would have words with anyone who implied that she was the former.
