The matter between Theo and I had become the talk of the town. It would be quite difficult for one not to know.

Gareth looked at me, tenderness appearing in his eyes. "We've not met, have we, President Lane?"

"No. This would be our first meeting." I nodded.

He was speaking in a much softer tone now. "You look very much like an old friend of mine."

Recovering his demeanor, Gareth shook his head and responded, "It's nothing. You've never met me, President Lane. Neither have you worked with Zeke Shimmer before. I wonder what's the purpose of your visit?"
