“She left here about twenty minutes ago,” Tally says. “There was just enough time for her to run home, get cleaned up, and then get to Caesar’s by six.” The way she says each word makes it clear she’s intentionally dropping information. I really, really like this girl. “You know what? Forget the number,” I say, my brain two steps ahead of her. “I’ll contact Aurora another way.” “I think that sounds like a great idea, Mr. Brewer. You should do that.” I smile. “Tally?” “Yes?” “Go home. You’ve gone above and beyond today.” She laughs as I end the call.
