Finally, he laid his fork to the side, took a last sip of his coffee, and shifted forward in his seat.

“Mr. Tarantino, I assure you I have no intentions of taking over your leadership of HQ. That is your main reservation, no?”

Adam dropped his napkin on the table. “Actually, that’s not my concern. I have more respect and confidence in my team than that. However, I am wary of a benefactor who is used to buying what he wants, when he wants it. If we accepted your money, it would make us beholden to you in ways I’m not at all convinced would be beneficial to HQ or the DC area.”

Charles nodded slightly. “An understandable reservation. I would then encourage you to have a contract drawn. It can specify the amount and frequency of my donation to HQ as well as making clear that no one serving HQ will have any obligation to me or anyone representing me, for any purpose. I will have no direct role in your day-to-day operations, except insofar as consultation may be requested and desired by you.”

Trace, Summer, and Kirby, all with hopeful, excited auras, looked at Adam. He frowned, his colors murky. His fingers fiddled with the spoon he hadn’t used for coffee or dessert. We all held our breath. Except Charles, who sat still, a faint smile on his face, waiting patiently.

Finally, Adam rose. The rest of us followed. He started to walk around the table to Charles, lifting his hand like he wanted to shake, but stopped before he set his damaged foot down. Charles hurried to Adam, his innate grace and elegance making him appear as if he wasn’t hurrying at all.
