“That’s the spirit. When I start talking about money, I’m sure you’ll perk up.”
“What do you mean?
“Your skills are in demand. This new client is willing to double your rate.”
Whoa!
I’m not a priority for Bryce at the moment, and if someone is willing to double my rate, it would be stupid to refuse.

I don’t like the sound of that. “What?”
“Alistair is older.”
“As in his… fifties.”
“He’s seventy-five years old.”
“What?” I shout.
He’s seventy-five years old?!
He’s older than my living abuelito.
Holy shit.
“He doesn’t look a day over forty-nine.”
