Her smile was faint. "Well, their money's safe. I'm staying put."

With a click, the conversation ended, leaving the question hanging in the air from Dylan's lips. "A reunion? Why not go and enjoy?"

A twinge of sadness weighed on Olivia, but she kept her voice Light, playful. “I'd rather not. It's the day before our flight, and honestly, I'm not really in touch with many of them anymore."

Dylan respected her wish, drawing her close with a playful pinch and a kiss that spoke volumes. "Bedtime," he said, a soft reminder in his voice. "Deadline's tomorrow, isn't it?"
