““Nice meeting you, sir. I look forward to making your plans—and the city’s—a reality.”
“Aren’t you a bit young to handle something this size? It’s a big undertaking, son.” His tone was teasing, no condescending undercurrent behind it—this wasn’t something I was used to. I looked younger than my twenty-eight years.

“It isn’t my first merry-go-round.”
“Good.”
“Thank you.”
