Chapter 15

They spent the rest of their meal talking about some of the people Wylie had yet to meet, mostly business owners he might interact with once he’d settled in. When they finished eating, Garry brushed off Wylie’s attempt to pay for dinner. “It’s on me, because it was great to be able to really relax for a while.

I know that, and I’m sure he does as well. Sorry, Nelly, but when it comes to him and me, you’re dreaming.5
