Gareth had come specifically to see her, but not wanting to pressure her, he lied: “Just finished some business nearby and ran into you.”

“How’s business?”

Maureen asked.

“Very successful.”

Gareth smiled gently.

Maureen wasn’t sure how to respond.

It wasn’t that she distrusted Gareth, nor that she thought him inferior to Geoffrey.

She just felt their friendship had already burdened him too much.

Gareth understood her silence.
