“Jaclyn studied Albert.
It was the end of January, almost three months since she’d last seen him, when she’d paid him for his Monarchs share.

He looked the role of a corporate executive of an exclusive apparel store.
“So do you, Jackie. You have a glow about you. Things are going well with you and Marc?”
