Approaching Christine directly was a lost cause; she wouldn’t even give him the time of day.

He needed an opportunity to sit down and really talk things through.

Clearing his throat, he asked, “So, got any bright ideas?”

Gregory stood up, adjusting his cuffs as he spoke: “You’ll still have to help with my wedding, you know.”

Merritt’s puppy-dog eyes lit up, his smile radiant, “You work hard for your money, Chris. Besides, I’m not picky. Whatever you feel like eating, I’m in.”

“Then I’ve got just the place.”
