I forward the email to him and wait while he reads through it.

“Damn.” He says under his breath.

“I know.” I say.

“She must be so scared. To lose the only family she has. The only family she’s ever had.”

“We have to help her.” I say.

“Maybe we can use this.” Flynn says hesitantly.

“What do you mean?” I ask.

“Maybe we can offer her the money in exchange for her going out with us.” He says all in a rush.

“Flynn.” I say, not believing that he could even suggest that.

“Roman, hear me out. She’s it. I know you can feel it too. If we both weren’t 100% sure that she was our One then we would have stopped pursuing her weeks ago. We can leverage the money and spend time with her. Get her to see that she belongs with us. That we can take care of her, we can take care of both of them. That she’s the one for us.”

I think about what he’s saying and I know it’s wrong. We should offer her the money with no strings attached but we’ve been trying for weeks and we’re both so desperate for her.

“It’s worth a shot.” I say as I look across the desk at Flynn.

“We’ll make her the offer tomorrow.” He says.

I just nod in agreement.

“Are you about ready to head home?” He asks as he stands from the chair and heads for my door.

“Yeah, I’m ready whenever you are.” I say.

I shut down my computer and grab my briefcase from beside my desk, shoving my chair back under my desk as I head out after him.
