“Actually, Kelly,” he said, “I think you’d have ed to take down Chandler without them”

“Oh, right,” she said, grinning again, pointing the cracker at him “I definitely have so”

He shrugged, watching her as she topped her cracker with a slice of cheese and took a bite

“So it’s finally over,” he said

A shadow crossed her face, erasing her smile “Yes All but the paperwork”

After they’d clinked glasses, Trey said, “The truth is my father and I haven’t spoken since the vote”
