Chapter 64

He wished the date had been set at an earlier time and not after the close of work, so he could easily leave after thirty minutes or an hour.

He wanted to be fully prepared for the evening, knowing well that this date was more than just to fulfill his end of the bargain with his mom but also a step toward uncovering Michael's plots.
