"So, the gala night was interesting." Phillip says, not looking up from his papers.

He's been over at Brennan Industries working with Judy on a marketing push since the gala evening.

I glance over at him. "What do you mean?"

"Judy was her usual underhanded self."

"No surprise to me at all."

"No. Me neither. Jayden is right to cut her out of his life."

"What do you think of Gabriel, with Cass?"

"Look, I think we are all a little concerned but Cass is no slouch. She stood up for you when Judy mentioned you. Gabriel basically told Judy mind her own business too."

"Really?" Even after that fight we'd had? "Cass never mentioned anything. What do Gabriel's family think of Cass?"

"They seem fine, but their culture is different I guess."

"Do you know them very well?"

"The sisters," Phillip clarifies, finally looking up. "I've met with Ana and Eva a few times now, and they are very nice, but... I get the feeling they're not really interested in sticking around in the States. They miss home. Mia, well she is a free spirit. I don't think she has any focus in life other than fun."

Half her luck. I'd love to have that carefree attitude to life again.
