She glanced over at Tyler, who was still lounging on the sofa, glued to his phone: She walked over and called out to him from behind, "Dinner's ready, Mr. Hunt." Tyler paused mid-text and looked toward the dining table that was now covered with a decently hearty spread. He got up slowly from the couch and cto stand in front of Rachel.

Every second felt like an eternity until Rachel finally blurted out, "Can you just givea straight answer already? Is it good or not?" "It's alright," Tyler replied flatly.

A thought suddenly popped into her head.
