What the hell? laughs I didn’t know you were married.
Granger Smith: scratching his head W-w-well, uh...yeah, I guess I should've mentioned that... But hey, don't sweat it.
Yeah, sorry about that man.
Granger Smith: Ain't nothing to worry about, Vulcalloc. Just a little misunderstanding, that's all. But hey, since we're here, how about we crack open a cold one?
Yeah, sorry about that man.
Granger Smith: No need to apologize, Vulcalloc. Mistakes happen. Besides, I'm sure we'll work things out with my new brother-in-law.

Alright then, let’s go inside.
Granger Smith: waves his hand dismissively Nah, I'm not one for fancy city living. Give me wide-open spaces and fresh country air any day.
Then why did you move here?
Granger Smith: Well, ya see... I was actually just passing through town, enjoying the sights and sounds of the big city.
You are staying at my house so you have no choice.
Granger Smith: crosses his arms Well, I reckon you're the boss of this joint. Guess I'll just have to make myself at home then.
Granger Smith: grinning mischievously Well, Vulcalculon, since I'm stuck here, might as well make things interesting. How about we have a little bet?
Granger Smith: I bet that I can teach you a thing or two about country livin'. I'll show you how to ride a horse, shoot a rifle, and catch a big ol' bass. What do ya say?
I’m from Tennessee so that’s basically all I do.
Over the next few weeks, Granger and Vulcalculon spend their days learning new country skills and bonding over shared experiences. They discover a deeper connection and become close friends.
