"Liv, I'm so glad to see you here!" Fred said, wiping his hands on a rag as he walked out of the garage. "Where have you been?"
I shook my head. "I found out Mom had a Meth lab in the spare room, along with a hydroponic garden. I'm living with someone else now."
Fred rolled his eyes. "Please, tell me that you didn't move in with any guy, especially not that Slade character."
I shook my head, scrunching up my nose. "No way! Until I get everything straightened out in my life, I'm staying clear of all guys for a while."
He raised an eyebrow, smiling. "Except me, right?"
I chuckled and headed over to him and placed my hand on his cheek, looking into his eyes. "You're not a guy."
"Thanks a lot!" He burst out laughing.
"You know what I mean." I shook my head, smiling. "You're more like my dad... but better."
He smirked. "Good save." He tilted his head, looking into my eyes. "So, you're okay, then?"
