Ah yes, the Macon leary family, Julian said. Why don't I step outside and wait wit you. Say hi to your sister.
Macon suspected Julian of hoping for more leary oddities to laugh at. Today Rose was wearing an old hat that had been her grandmother. Macon really didn't want Julian to see that hat.
Well, I don't think so, really. We need to get home.
Julian leaned back in his chair. Macon, he said. Couldn't you just once invite me to a family dinner?
