Esmae glanced at the receptionist, and just as she was about to speak, Reynolds’ voice came from behind her, “Mom?”

Esmae looked back at Reynolds and smiled.

Showing her to the office, Reynolds didn’t ask much, as if he already knew why she was there.

“The company’s doing well, Reynolds. I think I’m going to have to think about putting you back in the family business with Shawn,” Esmae told Reynolds, half-jokingly, as soon as she sat down.

“Now, to business,” Esmae said to Reynolds with a quick change of tone, “Come back with me.”

“No,” Reynolds answered even faster.

“Reynolds, be good!” Even facing his thirty-two-year-old son, Esmae said in a mother’s voice, “If your persistence pays off, I won’t try to persuade you, but Lucia won’t change her mind, so why bother?”

Looking at the pain in Reynolds’ eyes, Esmae sighed, “Wouldn’t it be more painful if you stay? Stay away from her. Maybe you’ll forget.”

“Lucia can’t help herself now. I’m not going to leave her, and whether or not I can help her here, I’m not going anywhere.” Reynolds’ obstinacy may be stronger than Esmae’s.
