I knew that in truth I wasn't really late, the food hadn't been served yet, but I was supposed to have been at EZ's house by ten and it was almost eleven already. Man, I hated it when his sisters made fun of me for being late.
The last time that I was late Sapphire, his oldest sister, ragged on me for three months. Granted I didn't see his sisters all that often, but they did still come to the family brunches that happened once a month. And since I was unofficially adopted, those included me.
The only way I ever got out of the brunches was if I was away on work. And that only happened when I took cases in other states. As we can plainly see, I was not away for work right now so I really needed to hurry.
