“He is rich-rich,” she agreed.

“So, how did you meet? I didn’t even know you were dating someone,” Dawn noted.

“Well, we met in college, actually. Freshman year. He was a senior, and I was just trying to find my footing,” Lia replied as her sister looked at her gesturing for her to continue with a wave of her hand.
