What Separates Me and You

Lewis stopped scrolling on his phone and looked up at her. “Do you care that much about Seth?

“I’m willing to sell my shares for him, so what do you think?” she said flippantly.

“Is it worth it?”

Her eyes widened. “W-What do you mean by that?”

“Aren’t Dad’s shares worth even more?”
