His eyes lit up. "Do you think we can do that!? Do you think they would actually come?" His mind was filled with ideas for the party er, the gathering!

"Its a bakery in Kansas! Mack, the owner, is so chill and awesome! She is helping me perfect what I do and it's great! His eyes lit up excitedly and he began talking with his hands as he explained it to her.

"The cupcakes definitely, meringue, and the macaroons! Macaroons are divine! I'll make some for you if you want?" He grinned excitedly looking at her before coughing. "I mean... it would be a problem.."

His eyes looked conflicted. "Do you think he will start anything? I don't want it spoiled, but I also want everyone there." He looked at his brother uncertain, he remembered the fights of course.

"Maybe we can talk to him first? Try to get a good feel for him?" That was his olive branch, he didn't like the drama but was willing to give him a try. Plus it was upsetting Mike and he didn't want that, he has been too kind so far!

He put in a mock offended face. "Phae! You can't ask a baker which is his favorite! The wedding cakes are my favorite." He whispered the last sentence like it was a conspiracy.

He grinned goofily at her. "You know me so well. There is so many things you can do with them its amazing! I am just glad Mack let's me handle those, they are a big deal!" He looked happily at Phae before sobering some. "And you like your work?"

"So what are we thinking, conference call or an outing?" He smiled fully at Mike, he really had missed his brother!!

"Oh yeah, Mr. Popular." He rolled his eyes dramatically but smirked. "Alright, let's try to talk with him. If he isn't 'too busy' that is."

Well.. he will be once he saved enough for a place. He frowned a bit at her and sighed. "You and Mike are changing the world, peoples lives! All I am doing is making everyone obese."

"No." He grumbled but sighed and nodded for Maike to press the call button.

". . . Why is there pasta in the background?!" Why was he focused on that?!

"I would rather enjoy a good cake but I know I have a sweettooth."

He look thoughtfully at her. "You sound like Mikey, should I be worried?" He may or may not have said that just to compare the answers. He already knows Luci and Anna would think he was wasting his time. Cas... was Cas.

"Only recently, hes... changed. And it's weird. We are planning a sibling reunion thing so you better come!" He was going to call her but what would be the point? She was right in front of him.

"That has been years ago sis, it has been years since we all got together. We are.. we should be more mature." He was starting to have doubts himself now, but he wanted to do this.. he had to see!

If he wasn't a bit desperate he wouldn't have..

PhAe! 😱 how could you!?

He had been pacing for almost half an hour and finally sighed and picked up his phone. "Just get it over with Gabe." He chided himself as he punched in Michael Aaron Shurley number.
