This is great news. What’s she like?
Bridger
He likes her.
Fuck off. I don’t like her.
Axel
You hired her to take care of Melody, and you don’t like her?
Shit. No. I like her, but not the way he insinuated. And she’s young.
Clark
So you like her, but you don’t like her?
Rafe
How young could she be if she’s qualified to be a nanny?
She’s 24.
Axel
For fuck’s sake, you’re acting like you hired a teenager. News flash… 24-year-olds are adults.
Easton
I’m just happy you hired someone who can actually get around and take care of Melody.
Bridger
She walked her ass all the way to his office after her car broke down in the rain, and he almost didn’t hire her. I had to step in.
Clark
Seriously?
I didn’t know if she was qualified. She proved she was.
Easton
I mean, the fact that she can make a sandwich for Melody makes her more qualified than your last nanny.
She doesn’t have experience with kids, so I wasn’t sure that she could handle it.
Rafe
I didn’t have experience with kids before Melody came along, and you let me watch her.
You’re family.
Axel
So what happened?
She made a good argument and convinced me that she was the right person for the job.
