Ever since Augus started his recovery period, he hadn't really had a formal sit-down with lan. So, when Beck mentioned it, lan felt a twinge of guilt.

The whole divorce from Maja thing was a pill too big to swallow for anyone in the Sanders clan. lan was itching to give Beck the boot, but before he could do anything, Augus' call came in first.

It happened right after lan got home from work, just as he overheard Beck on the phone.

"Dad, are you sure you're up for the trip?"

"What's so important? Alright, when will you be here? I'll come get you. Yeah, I know, Maja's due in two months, I wouldn't dare ask her to come herself, she's been resting up at home. When you get here, I'll set you up in the Sanders' local house to chill out before heading over to Greenfield Gardens."

"Dad's coming over? When?"

Beck stiffened, surprised lan had caught wind of the conversation, and instantly felt a touch of annoyance.

"Tomorrow, around six in the evening. You better brace yourself."

The news spoiled lan's appetite at dinner.
