When she saw it was a guy, the girl clasped her hands together in a pleading gesture, “I’ve been dying to try this maple–glazed roasted chestnuts. Could you possibly let me have it?”

“Sorry.” Edgar remained firm. “It’s not about the money.”

He glanced over at Sherilyn standing a few steps away. “Really sorry, but maybe next time.”

“Sir, here you go.”
