He nodded at Nicole after that. “Are you full, Nicole? How’s the food?”

“I’m full. The food was great,” she answered.

Levant smiled and glanced at Evan, and the tension in the air mounted almost immediately.

“Dad! You have to put a stop to those rumors! No one’s going to trust me if you don’t do anything about them!” Levant said desperately.
