AFTER chatting a bit more about his schedule for next week, they ended the call. Astrid took another sip of his tea. Well, that went better than expected. He had thought Ellis might have a stronger reaction. But after all the other shocking news he had dropped on her before, she was probably used to it by now. That would explain why she stayed much calmer than he had anticipated.
Once he finished his tea, he got up from his seat and stretched his arms over his head. Then he started on his meal prep for the night. He decided to keep it simple, making spicy chicken pasta and a side salad, with freshly squeezed orange juice to go with it.
