“Have you heard of the phrase, ‘the drinker’s heart is not in the cup’?” Bryson’s eyes narrowed slightly.
“I suppose we’ll know what they’re up to at the auction.”

Declan could feel his palms grown warm with anticipation.

I made you a simple snack. Eat it while it’s warm.”
Declan’s brows furrowed slightly.
