“Thanks. I’ll take her out, if that’s okay with you?” I ask, and he nods his head. I take it as my cue to find Irene, but he talks again. “So, she’s the reason you’ve been canceling meetings lately?” There’s a smug look on his face, and I laugh at that, not believing to see him like this after such a long time. I can’t remember when the last time was that he was like this.
