Chapter 29: A Charming Carriage Ride, Part 3

Corey glanced in Serendipity's direction and could instantly tell that she already knew what he was not yet willing to admit to himself; he fit in the latter category. Was he happy? Of course not. Was he doing what he wanted to do with his life? Well, he had never imagined himself doing anything else.?He changed the subject. "Let me tell you a bit about our facilities," he began.

"Why?" she asked that right eyebrow arched again. "I'll only be there for a few moments, just long enough to collect Pozzletot."

"True," Corey replied, swallowing hard. "But it is part of my job to do so, and doing my job makes me quite happy, and you do want me to be happy, don't you, Serendipity?"

There was that charming grin again, and she couldn't help but laugh. "All right then," she acquiesced, smiling in return. "I shall humor you."
