“It’s nothing.” Joycelyn shook her head, quickly suppressing the smile that had been creeping onto her face. She forced a neutral expression and casually inspected the new furniture in the living room.

Aside from the artwork on the walls, everything had been completely replaced. The speed and efficiency with which it was done–thanks to the power of money–was truly impressive.

The air was filled with an awkward tension neither of them could quite explain.

“Okay.” Ellison finished his water and responded in a low, steady tone.
