"I suspect that at least Eights will have a stack of employment offers from the various Bells, though. Or they'll decide that only one of them should offer you a job between themselves, instead. Perhaps the new one."
"If Stella's got Sandy on her payroll I'm sure somebody will be willing to consider you even if you present yourselves as a package deal," shrugs Nathan. "If you promise to behave yourself. Bells are not friends to mayhem."
"If I'm going out of business anyway, might as well get a new job that's just like the old job but with fewer clients."
Nathan laughs. "I think I'm redundant at this point. You've been introduced to some Bells, I'm just standing around conspicuously not partaking of pancakes. I think I'll go home."
"Aah, I'd get a bellyache," laughs Nathan. "But I'll suggest double-dating to the lovely mother of my child, shall I? And it can be a dinner date."
"I do know that," grins Nathan. "You'd love our kid, too, he's three months old now, looks like he's three years and talks better than half of grownups."
"Do you know how long it's been since I've even seen a three-year-old? But I'm sure your kid is adorable. Anyway, yeah - double date, let me know."
"We can look them up after Downside shakes out."
Kiss kiss. "Damn, they are giving Jane a lot of hardware."
