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.

“Okay, thanks.” Skylar didn’t bother playing nice or refuse his help.
