"You don't need a reason to like someone," Debra replied. "Andrew's the best to me. He is my world."
Marion studied her profile, feeling a rush he'd never known.
They wandered around the park until it was closing. Then Andrew called.
"I'm taking this," Marion said, stepping away.
Andrew's voice came through. "This time, I'm not letting you win."
That line triggered a flood of memories, including how he and Debra met and fell in love in another life.
It was his first night back in Seamar City.
Barton met him at the airport and took him to see Andrew.
Once they were alone in the study, Andrew started, "There's an auction tonight I can't skip. Go in my place."
He rarely asked favors like that, but Marion wasn't interested in auctions.
"How's that investigation I asked for?" he asked.
"You'll get the answer at that auction," Andrew smiled. "Trust me, you won't regret it."
Marion had returned to clean up his overseas assets and dig into the four families' collapse. Nothing else mattered.
"Alright," he agreed, going with Randy.
He hadn't expected to meet Debra at the auction or that Andrew had set it up.
William hovered above him, getting close.
Marion woke up and shoved him away.
"Whoa!" William yelped. "You scared me! Thought you died there. Debra would've killed me."
"He wrote his last will," Jordan said. "What did you see?"
"A lot," Marion said. "But I found my answer."
"Cured?"
"Yeah, a long time ago."
