He nodded at Grandma Wilson, greeting her with a simple "Morning." Grandma Wilson looked at the two of them with displeasure. "You two woke up so early?" Maggie, surprised, thought it was a good thing they both woke up early.

He has too many social engagements and won't be at the company much. I don't have a car, so it's inconvenient for me." Grandma Wilson didn't relent.
