few hours. Then since Mathew won’t be back from your parents’ until six, we can celebrate being parents again. There is plenty of time for me to show you how much I love the fact that you’re going to have my baby.”
    “Sounds good. I’ll try to get out of here earlier then. Oh, and Rythen was here. He said to tell you that not signing that contract won’t help. He’ll just go over your head. Do you know what he’s talking about?” Logan shook his head. He should have known the man would have knowledge as to what he was thinking.
    “Yeah, he said I had to sign off on your grandmother ’s ending paperwork. I was trying to figure out a way to make it so I didn’t. Mac already told me that even if I didn’t, there might be kickbacks.” He picked up the copy of the contract and noticed the time and the date too as he looked at the first page. The date of it made his world rock. Logan got up to get a beer and noticed the calendar hanging on the fridge as he continued talking to Lizzy. “Well shit. I’m going to read this thing over for your dad. Then I have a meeting with the city council in an hour, I just remembered too. How about a rain check for tonight?”
    “Deal. And I’ll do you one better. I’ll meet you at the courthouse for the meeting. I have a few things I’d like to bring up as well.” Logan had to smile. He wanted to point out that she was a great deal like her dad again, but needed to look over his notes for the meeting. Lizzy was like her father in that she’d argue any point just so long as she was considered right. She was her daddy’s little girl.
    He left the house twenty minutes later. Time to make the city see what sort of man they’d brought in to make them a city again….and what sort of man they already had in place. He just hoped things went the way he thought they should.

    The woman sitting at the desk only looked at him when he shifted on his seat. Rythen had missed a great deal over the centuries, and the way women now dressed and acted was one of them. He wanted to ask her to walk to the large file cabinet again but was afraid she’d call him names again. Two of the ones she’d called him he was going to have to ask someone about. He had no idea what sexist meant but doubted it had anything to do with actual love making. But chauvinistic, that one baffled him the most.
    “Mr. Rythen, Mr. Burris and the others will see you now.” He stood up when she did and waited just long enough to have her walk in front of him. Yeah, he’d missed a great deal, and high heels were quickly becoming his favorite shoe.
    As soon as she opened the door to allow him in , he moved into the room thinking he needed to find himself a nice little office with a nice secretary like the one out front. This woman worked for Aaron, so he knew she was aware of what they all were. As soon as he saw the three other women sitting around the room, he decided that he needed a large office with many women, all of them in the highest heels they could find. He wondered if they’d call him sexist too.
    “Rythen, how are you? ” Aaron showed him to a seat as he asked. “We’ve invited a few other people to this meeting. Some of them I think you might know.”
    He was introduced to all the men at the table and yes, he knew a few. He looked at Logan when he handed him his file. The man looked like he was very upset with him. Rythen didn’t care.
