He decided to come because of that. If anyone should be thanked, it should be you."

Before Maggie could respond, someone called out, "Franklin Wilson?"

Maggie hesitated, then turned to see Franklin walking toward them at the door.

"Please add another chair and place another se of utensils."

Franklin didn't seem bothered by her cool reception. He spotted Nolan, and after giving a calm greeting, "Mr. Nolan," the two exchanged a brief nod.
