Tiffany became even more distressed. “L.”

With a bang. Josiah set down his cutlery, his tone laced with impatience as he snapped, “It’s not your place to ask that question, is it?”

Though the words were delivered with an air of nonchalance, they held a somewhat intimidating force.

Josiah didn’t say much. He picked up the red wine glass by his side. “Mr. Thorne, let me toast you.”
