The auction was over, and she could finally catch up with Matthew.
"Matthew." There was a determined look in her eyes as she smiled suggestively. "It's been a long time. My mom misses you a lot, Matthew. When are you free to drop by the house?" Matthew was a little taken aback to have been stopped by Whitney.
