Good evening, Mr. Razlo. [ She utters his name distinctly like a warm purr of amusement. ] Or should that be Mr. Livio? Is that what you're calling yourself now? [ A low chuckle. She knows that isn't quite the same person, but she has her reasons for playing otherwise. ]

I would like for us to start off on better terms and bury the hatchet. I am inviting you to a Thanksgiving dinner that I will be co-hosting. I know it's an American holiday that might be out of place when we're near Canada...but there's nothing wrong with taking the time to appreciate what you have.
Call me back, and I'll tell you the address and time. [ ( ... )
