“I haven’t seen you in months and here we are, meeting twice in the same week. I can’t believe we don’t run into each other more often. Alice loves this place.”

From the corner of his eye, Nick could see a woman just behind the man speaking.

“Isn’t Margaret the best? Of course, nothing on the menu is approved by my doctor. At some point a man has to live, right?” Jonathon asked.

“True. That’s exactly why Alice lets me come here once a week. We’re usually here for lunch, as soon as the bank closes on Saturdays. But our granddaughter had a recital this afternoon, so we’re a little late.”

“I hope you enjoy your evening, then.”

“Come see me again before Christmas, Jonathon. This time with no business. We’ll have a drink and an early dinner. I’ll bring pictures of the grandchildren and we can discuss retirement plans. I only have three months left, you know.”

“Congratulations, I’ll give you a call.”

Nick watched as the man and his wife followed Margaret to a nearby booth.

“Who was that?” he asked.

“Charles and his wife, Alice.” His grandfather waved his hand. “Just an old friend I don’t run into very often.”

Nick felt an odd twang in his gut. Even with the poker face, something felt off. Since his refusal to accept the family fortune, his grandfather had become relentless in his determination to pass on every ounce of influence the Chester name could provide. He never missed the chance to introduce him to everyone he knew, business related or socially, every single time they met.

His grandfather stared into his eyes as if trying to send him a message, and then quickly turned to Beth, who seemed oblivious to anything being wrong.

“So, Beth. Does your family have big plans for Christmas?”

His grandfather definitely wanted to change the subject.
