“I’ve invited Holloway over Friday evening,” Ryan added. “It’s important to make a good impression. Prepare a proper dinner.”

Ryan walked into the kitchen, jingling his car keys.
“I need to run some errands for the new position. You’ll have to reschedule.”

“You promised to watch the girls.”
“This job is important, Claire. You should be supporting me.”

“Ryan was supposed to watch the babies. My meeting starts in forty minutes.”
Gerald sighed.
“He’s dealing with an important career change. Can’t your job wait?”
I ended the call and contacted Dana.
