“You might as well come to Christmas dinner, then. Can I invite my brother and best friend, too?”
“Of course,” he said, but he didn’t respond to her admittedly reluctant invitation.
“Can they bring a contribution?” She was thinking Shawn could scrounge up a cooked turkey somewhere and even Angie could manage stuffing out of a box.
“No, you will be providing the entire meal.”
Cassie was afraid of that.
“Now that you know the tasks, do you feel you can handle them?”
“I guess so—but what exactly is the point?”
He smiled—a glimmer of a smile. “Each task will tell me something about you. Something important. However, you don’t seem very confident. Can you or can’t you? A yes or no will suffice.”
Lifting her hand to her brow she saluted him smartly. “Aye, aye, sir.”
Her gesture failed to amuse him, but he did relax somewhat. “Now that we’ve squared away that portion of our discussion, it’s time to finalize the paperwork.”
“All right. Oh—do I get to ask three things of you—small, easy-to-perform tasks?”
He sent her a withering look.
“Obviously I don’t,” she said under her breath.
“Let’s make this clear,” he said with exaggerated patience. “You’re the one who sought me out. You came to me because of your desire for a husband and a family. I don’t advertise. I didn’t ask you to step into this office. You came of your own free will.”
