As soon as the waiter left, Monty turned to Calliope with a grin plastered across his face, his tone as sugary as a fresh batch of maple syrup.

"Callie, I'm really glad you decided to join us for dinner today! All this talk about leaving or not leaving-come on, even if you signed that agreement, you're still a Jewell through and through. Family doesn't hold grudges overnight, right?"
