Unable to contain her curiosity, she inquired, “What strategist?”
Slater’s eyes twinkled, his expression more animated.

No one without formal design training could’ve done that.
Before Stella could frame her questions, Slater interjected, “Matthew is Tobin.”
“What?” Stella exclaimed, caught off guard yet again.
