“Just let him know not to miss dinner at my place tonight.”
Matteo peered into the office and saw Mitchel getting ready to leave.
He hesitated and then said, liss Foster, Mr. Dixon might be caught up with work until very late.”
Raegan missed the hint in Matteo’s voice and simply said, “That’s fine. I can wait for him.”
Suddenly, there was a burst of laughter from Janey on the Line.
Raegan quickly added “Matteo, go ahead with your work. I won’t hold you up any longer.”

“I would love that!” Janey beamed. “I wish daddy could always be with us and never leave.”
