‘In a week or so.’ A woman’s voice linked in response.

‘And if I need it earlier? What’s the price?’

Jake groaned. ‘Fine. And the other one? The shell?

The ingredients for that are harder to collect. It will take more time. We need a month, at least. You’ve run out of that already?’

‘No. But supply is running low.’

Xandar sighed in frustration before pecking a kiss between her eyebrows and saying, “Promise me, Lucy. Promise me you won’t do that again for the rest of today.”
