Quinlyn wasn’t fazed. After thinking for a moment, she said, “I can call and ask for you.”

Bennett paused. “Ask about what?”

“Ask if I can buy someone.” Quinlyn replied earnestly.

Bennett was taken aback. She must be kidding, right?

But Quinlyn wasn’t joking at all. She pulled out her phone and dialed a number from her contacts.

Ella was taken aback. Wow, how considerate she is.
