Neville asked, “Where are you now? I’ll head over.”
Just as he stood up, his phone buzzed again.
Cordell replied, “Matthew’s out of the hospital. Let’s catch up another day so that he can rest.”
Taking in the news, Neville felt his shoulders relax.
He edited his response. “That’s good. I’ve got plans today. We’ll reschedule for another day.”

“You must be Neville,” Susie jumped in, interrupting his thoughts. “I’ve seen your photos. I’m your date. Susie Blakely, nice to meet you.”
She offered her hand for a shake, but Neville, keeping his expression steady, responded, “Let’s head inside first.”
He then turned around and walked inside.
Unperturbed, Susie withdrew her hand and followed him inside.
Once they settled at the table, the waiter presented the menu.
