Cecilia listened quietly, realizing Magnus still wasn’t getting to the point. She finally said, “I’m about to get off work. If there’s nothing else, I’m going to hang

up.”

“Wait, Cecilia, hang on! I just wanted to ask if you could maybe do me a favor.” Magnus rushed his words, clearly worried she’d hang up on him.

“What kind of favor?” she asked.

“Well, you know how I recently started a company with some help from my brother-in-law? A while ago, I met someone while meeting with a client…” Magnus chose his words carefully. “She’s really attractive, and I’ve been thinking, I’m not getting any younger. I was wondering if you could help me set something up between us.”

Cecilia hadn’t expected to hear that Magnus had developed feelings for someone. Over the years, he’d dated plenty of women, but none of it ever seemed serious. This time, though, his tone felt different-more genuine.
