Alan wasted little time contacting Alex. Once he had all the documents needed to transfer KANI's ownership to her, he wanted to close the deal as fast as possible so he could deliver her to the Jensens. He'd already overshot the narrow window Lydia had given him to bring Alex to her, so he had to move quickly.
That afternoon, Alex was busy getting to know Eliott — poking around his house and office to see what he was working on, what he loved, the books he read, the games he liked to play. She was quietly gathering information about the man she was going to marry by inspecting his home. Eliott watched her wander about, thoroughly content; it was a lovely, endearing picture. He was genuinely glad to see her this curious, circling him with questions about this and that, and he answered every one patiently, delighted that she wanted to know him at all.
