Vinny was feeling more and more nervous. His lawyer was someone he hadn't really talked to since Marlie's death, but it wasn't as if---He hadn't even thought of having to see one, but she'd left him everything, him and Milo and it was just---there weren't good memories of these offices.
"Galvin! Ms. Cadwallader, please, take a seat," Mr. Robards said with a smile so wide that Vinny was sure that this was going to be really, really bad. The smile was so fake and shiny---he'd also had that same grin when Robards told him he'd gotten half of his dead fiancee's estate, so what could this possibly be about?
"I'm fine," Vinny said, remaining standing by the side of the chair. "What's this all about?"
"Well," Robards said, taking a seat behind his ridiculously large desk. He smiled at Victoria and then looked back up at Vinny, "As you both know, you were chosen to be Ava Scott's godparents when she was born."
This...was not what Vinny had been expecting at all. He had been clinging to his former teammate's daughter the whole time he was in Moosejaw, but her elderly grandmother had taken her away. What was wrong with Ava? He'd thought that it would be the last time he'd see the little girl, "What's wrong with Ava?"
"Oh, no, she's perfectly fine, actually---" The door that had been left open behind them creaked a little further and Vinny turned to see Robards' secretary holding the baby. Vinny first felt elated to see his goddaughter, but then his stomach twisted when his thoughts began to put everything together.
