"Sure, our family needs to stay connected; we can't let distance grow between us."

Robert nodded, speaking with real sincerity, "Exactly, and I'd also like to sit down with Nathaniel and the others, offer a proper apology."

"We're all family. You're Nathaniel's uncle; whatever happened is behind us."

Wren had always been a peacemaker; all he wanted was harmony and never felt his brother had crossed any lines.

Robert sighed again, wearing an expression full of worry.

Robert waved a hand. "It's nothing much, just a few problems with the company lately. Don't worry, I may be getting on in years, but I can still hold the fort."

Wren pressed, "Tell me what's really happening. We're family; let's sit down together and work it out."
