Caleb had been thinking about making things a little more difficult for Debra, but seeing her disheveled appearance, he cleared his throat and said, “There’s nothing more I want to ask.

Caleb beamed even brighter. “That’s great. You have no idea how long it’s been since Mr. Houston Sr. has had a home–cooked meal. Sure, the chef’s food is tasty, but there’s nothing like a meal made by family.”
