Chapter Twenty-Two: Hours Roll By

Trick

“How’s it going?” Matt asks as I have a seat.

“Not too bad, except for traffic being a bitch.”

I was almost late for this meeting and that’s the last thing I need, especially when I’m trying to get my shit together.

“You did cut it a little close,” he gives me an ironic smile.

“I was on time though, wasn’t I?”

He coughs. “Barely, but it doesn’t matter, as long as I didn’t have to wait on you. How’s Riley? I see you’ve been spending a good amount of time with her. Hadley’s doing a good job of keeping track of the hours.”
