      “More than me being on the contract?” Brit asked in a strained voice.

      Reggie had yet to meet Brit’s gaze, busy as she was selling her lies to Leona.

      “Yes. I want to live here until the day I die.” Leona looked like she was playing her trump card. She was almost smiling. “Rent-free.”

      Deal-breaker.

      Brit met Reggie’s gaze across the liver platter and shook her head. Once upon a time, she and Reggie had been masters of twin-speak. Back before the Promotion Dance, Brit had been able to tell what Reggie was thinking before she started a sentence. And now? Her twin-speak was tuned to a different frequency. Was Reggie actually considering Grandmother Leona’s proposition?

      “I may only be in a trade,” Brit ventured into the silence. “But I know a bad business deal when I see one. The answer is no.”

      Reggie looked more stricken than when she’d been chewing the liver. What was wrong with her? She’d been a shark in hotel management. And now? In the course of twelve hours, she’d been pushed around by Shaggy Joe and Grandmother Leona. Maybe Reggie did need a business partner. Just not Brit.
