Mia Grant told him to be serious.
"He's your good friend, after all. You don't have to be so resentful."
"I don't want to be his brother right now. I just want to be his brother-in-law, as you well know."
Yates Donovan added, "Who cares about being friends with him?"
Someone was starting to act childish again.
Mia's mood was decent today, so she didn't hang up right away. She listened patiently without interrupting as he babbled nonsense for quite a while.
Finally, when he seemed to have talked himself tired, she steered the conversation back on track. "It's from you. No matter what it is, he'll love it."
Mia pulled the phone away from her ear and glanced at the call duration.
'Hmm, sixteen minutes. He finally said something that makes sense.'
She put the phone back to her ear. "So, do you have any recommendations?"
"A watch, a tie, a tie clip, cufflinks... or maybe a set of golf clubs? I remember he plays golf."
