Violet had a hard time believing the man calling himself Michael Gray was actually friends with her parents. She knew their friends. They had never mentioned him.
That being said…her mother had told her that she acted like her father when she wasn't happy with people. So he was probably telling the truth about Aaron giving him attitude. But twenty-six years ago? That was before she was even born.
If he had been friends with her parents after she was born, she was sure she would have heard of him. The friendship must have ended before then.
"Why haven't I ever heard of you?" Violet asked bluntly.
Michael Gray gave her a debonair smile. "Probably because your dad thinks I'm a bad influence."
A bad influence, huh? What on earth had this guy done to get branded with that sort of label? She didn't trust him. Something about this guy seemed awfully insincere to her. The best way to test whether or not he was telling the truth was to call her dad.
