Alexander put out his hand and placed it on her soft, fine hair. “What’s wrong? Don’t feel like confronting Faye head-on yet?” he asked, before pausing for a moment. With a thoughtful look on his face, he continued with a nod, “Well, that’s understandable. Your dad’s gonna be present at the auction then. Sorry for not considering that.
