Liz felt a shiver run down her spine as the man caught up to them from behind. Nelson sensed her unease and gently squeezed her hand. Turning to Remington, he asked, "And who might your grandfather be? You sure make it sound like we're old friends."

Remington's gaze rested on Liz, who stood quietly beside Nelson with her head bowed. He spoke in a gentle tone, "Please, Mr. Madden, give us your blessing."

Nelson snorted, clearly not inclined to give any blessings.
