“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.”
