Vespera smiled awkwardly. "Thanks for the flattering words."

She picked up her drink, yes lowered, sipping slowly to mask her discomfort.

Theodore was still staring at her.

Samuel's expression shitted subtly. "Don't tell me he's into her?" he thought

Then, Theodore added, "Ms. Gildon, are you dating anyone? I have a nephew who's still single."
