Joe shot her a sarcastic, biting look. “Aren’t you surprisingly good at buttering up to Grandma?”

“I’m not buttering up to her. It’s called giving and receiving. Grandma’s nice to me and had someone deliver breakfast for me, so it’s only fair that I politely thank her.

“Do you have something against sincere social interactions, Mr. Martin? Or do you think it’s Grandma’s duty to deliver this breakfast for me, so I don’t have to thank her at all?” Skylar refuted.

Because of that, she didn’t plan on arguing with him over petty matters.
