“Okay,” I said. “Enough games.”
She looked at me. “What?”
I stepped outside for some air.
“Your dad keeps asking me strange, unexpected questions at work. He wants you to test me tonight. Your aunt apparently knows my entire employment history.”
Georgia sighed. “He’s been thinking about something important.”
“Yes, and?”
“Something involving the company.”
My stomach tightened.
“He’s been thinking about something important.”
“Is he selling it?!”
“No.”
“Am I getting fired?!”
“No, calm down. It’s definitely not that.”
“Then what, Georgia?”
She hesitated. “You’ll know soon.”
“Am I getting fired?!”
I shook my head. “Your family’s exhausting.”
She laughed. “Imagine growing up with them!”
Before I could respond, Madison appeared. “Georgia! Group pictures!”
My date grabbed my arm. “Come on!”
“Your family’s exhausting.”

As we walked inside, I noticed something.
Georgia had stopped acting annoyed with me.
Whatever her father was planning, she seemed to be on my side.
