“Good evening, ma’am,” he said politely. “I'm Richard.”
“Hi, you can callOlivia. No need to callma'am.” | squinted as | studied Richard's dark hair poking out of
his hat and bright blue eyes. For sreason, he looked very familiar to me. “Nice to meet you.”
| walked around the car to sit in the passenger seat, but Alexander stoppedhalfway.
“You were going to sit in the passenger seat and leavein the backseat to sit by myself?” he asked, his eyes
