“Mia and Boxer’s new bar,” Doc said. “It’s coming together.”
“With Logan’s help,” Mia said. “She’s a design genius. We were supposed to have a cocktail night. I have all these recipes I want to try, but my pool of loyal tasters are off the sauce.”

“I’ll call you about the dog for Cam,” I said.
“Perfect,” she said. She shuffled from one foot to the other, her brow wrinkled.
“What?” I asked.
“I’ve just been mulling over your…condition.”
“Yeah? What about it?”
“You said it started right after your father passed.”
“Yes. It did.” I nodded.
“And stress brings on the episodes.”
