Doorstep Daddy
“Amazing! Ran into a mutual acquaintance here in Barbados who told me the news. Ought to keep up with the other Holidays more. Family is not your thing, I know. The weather's terrific and the beaches pure white. Eat your heart out. Celeste and the kids love it. See you when you get home and we get home.

He wondered what had changed his cousins' minds all at once, then decided better them than him. He just didn't have time for a wife and kids.
