"No," she responded. "Papa has never been one to eat food from outside. If he doesn't have lunch with clients, he eats home-cooked meals. And coffee—he only drinks it twice a day.

But he hasn't attended any events recently."

Nicholas could see the desperation in her eyes, and he couldn't ignore her plea. "I'll get to the bottom of it. You have my word."
