Harper was as happy as a clam, which was unusual, to say the least. She certainly caught dear Uncle Claude's minor outburst as the curtain went down for intermission, spotting her mother, Greta, attempt to calm him down.

Fletcher set down his cup of crappy, lukewarm coffee by a fake plant and wandered oh-so suavely over to Harper. He had been watching her for a few minutes, waiting for a lull in her constant admirers and -- bam, timed it perfectly.

"Yeah. Good job," he said before turning to leave. He needed a drink.
