“Jared’s mom is really something,” Nathan said, looking straight at me. “She came in here and started playing matchmaker, even brought photos of potential girlfriends.”

I shrugged and laughed. “She’s got a lot of connections–knows plenty of rich girls. If she’s introducing you, you’re really making out pretty well.”
