you and Ms. …?" He looked at the ladies. "Yes, Edgar, this will be fine. And I think it likely that Mrs. Stevenson will become a regular as well. Make sure you treat her right," Karen instructed him. "But of course," Edgar said easily. "Pleased to make your acquaintance Mrs. Stevenson. Bon appétit, ladies." After Edgar had seated the two women, Carrie looked to Karen for an explanation. "You said it was related to Sam and Gary's work, and that sounded ominous," she said, getting right to the point. "Well, not ominous," Karen said, "but let's order first. Rocket salad, please, with the grilled chicken," she said to the waiter who had appeared at her elbow like magic. "Um, same for me too, please," Carrie said. "And a bottle of...

"That was the first question I asked when Gary was promoted to junior executive almost seven years ago. But first tell me. And be honest: are you and Sam happy with his employment with Alphia Corporation? Are you planning on making this company his career, or is he using his time here as a stepping stone for future elsewhere?" Carrie frowned as she considered her answer. "We are very happy with Alphia. We both wanted to start a family early, but figured that I would have to work for a while before we could afford to," Carrie said. "Then Alphia was so generous that I worked only for eighteen months before we had Emily and Jack." Carrie smiled happily as she shifted into mother mode. "Emily is three, and Jack is eighteen months," she said happily. "Really?" Karen asked, looking at Carrie. "You look amazing." "Thank you," ...
