He was at his desk when I came in and he stood up when he saw me, "Rachel," he said. "I wasn't expecting you." "I know." I sat down across from him without being asked. "You look better than you did at the gala." He sat back down. "That's a low bar." "It is," I agreed. He looked at me. "How are you?" "Good." I kept my voice easy. "How is everything at home?" His expression shifted slightly — not much, just a pull around the eyes. "Fine," he said. "And Camilla?" He picked up his pen and set it down. "Rachel—" "I'm not pushing," I said. "I was just asking." I let it go and reached into my bag and pulled out the folded pages Daniel had given me. I set them on the desk between us. "I had lunch with an investor today. Daniel Reeves." He looked at the papers. "His name has come up."
