Shifting everyone aside, Caitlyn made room for her friend. The dinner went on as everyone engaged in chit-chat. Gao was silent, mostly listening. Andrew's eyes never left the small woman sitting at the table. He noticed that she did not eat. She pushed food around her plate. His wolf was concerned, but he'd tread carefully.

"No cellphones at the dinner table, dammit, Adam, you know the rules," Merila Teymourian-Doherty said sharply, and she flashed her family a tight-lipped smile, one that let them know in no uncertain terms that she meant business. At home and at her downtown office, Merila liked to run a tight ship, and anyone around her had to take it or leave it. Merila's...
