Dashiell waved his racquet, signaling for his brother to come over.
Phinies strolled up leisurely and, upon seeing Sebastian, couldn't hide his surprise. "President Ingram, what brings you out here? Got some time to kill?"
"Looks like you're in the same boat, Mr. Wilson."
"I got roped into this by the kiddo here. I've got a million things to do."
"No matter how busy, you've got to make time for my little lady."
The brothers exchanged a knowing look and an arched eyebrow, leaving the conversation hanging in silent understanding.
Dashiell introduced her, "Bro, meet Stephanie, the little lady I always talk about. She's sweet and sensible."
With a nod, Dashiell added, "Ms. Bishop, nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you too... Mr. Wilson. Dashiell, I thought you were quite the looker, but I didn't expect your brother to be even more handsome!"
Dashiell stroked his chin and said, "Nah... I won't admit he's better looking than me, but I'll concede he's got more presence. If you think he's more handsome, it's definitely because you're not just looking at faces and figures anymore... You're valuing charisma."
"Ha, maybe I've been hanging around my Silver Fox too much... anyone without a bit of presence just doesn't cut it for me now."
"See! Even I admit he's got more charisma. Come on, let's get you warmed up!"
"Sure thing. Putnam, Maddie, and Gillian are joining us soon."
