430 Biding His Time

Gray seemed surprised to see his half-brother when he arrived in the visitation area. Even prison hadn't managed to stop him from acting debonair as ever. Completely shameless.

"I didn't think you were coming this month," he said slyly.

Aaron sighed as he sat down. "My father-in-law died. Things were a bit chaotic at home."

"I'm so sorry to hear that. He was a good man."

The sentiment had been shared with him several dozen times since Robert passed away but this one particularly grated on him. It was probably Gray's tone of voice. No matter how many times Aaron visited, he could never make himself like this insincere creep.

But he kept his true feelings to himself. He had always been good at that. Gray didn't seem to suspect a thing either.

Sometimes Aaron wondered what kind of relationship he expected them to have when he got out of prison. It wasn't like he was willing to welcome a murderer into his home with open arms.
