“I don’t either, so let’s not worry about it,” he replied.

“It’s not a small amount, a few hundred thousand at most,” Emmeline insisted.

“It’s nothing, really,” Abel said dismissively.

“Then how about this,” Emmeline suggested. “I’ll take Mr. Ryker out to dinner to make up for it. It’ll make me feel better.”

Abel considered for a moment before nodding his agreement. “That sounds fine.”

Abel wondered who to invite.

“Mr. Ryker, pick a time,” Emmeline said on the other end of the line. “I’m available anytime.”

“How about today at noon?” Abel suggested. “I don’t feel like being at home.”

Emmeline knew Abel wanted to avoid Evelyn.

“Sure, I’m free at noon too,” she replied.
