Bartlett leaned in close to Ellinor, “I’ve saved up enough dough for marriage; I just haven’t found the right gal yet. I don’t even know where to start looking. Ellinor, can you help me out?”

Bartlett answered straightforwardly, “I want to go where Ms. Mendoza is staying. You guys can just bring me along. If we live close, we can watch each other’s backs if anything comes up.”

Collin clearly wasn’t keen on the idea, “Mr. Rex, I’m sorry, but Ms. Mendoza is headed to the Howard’s Mountain Villa. It might not be convenient for you to tag along.”
