Charlene nodded quickly, then turned to York. "Sorry, I can't make it to lunch with you."

York smiled warmly. "No worries."

He didn't see Charlene at all during those two days.

When he got home, his family didn't realize he was on leave, so everyone was busy doing their own thing and the house was pretty much empty.

Over burgers and fries at their usual diner, Kelvin Scott couldn't resist some gossip. "Honestly, I didn't expect Ms. Hawkins-you know, the one Dalton's into— to be Dr. Kevitt Smith's PhD student. That's pretty impressive, actually."
