Chapter 17

• Paul was derailed with Danica's message. He thought of how to put it through without getting Loney upset. He knew Loney's quick temper and the best way to live with Loney was to do as he wished. He never wanted his authority to be questioned. After he harnessed through his thoughts, certain of a favourable way, he put a call through to Loney. Loney was already expecting his call. He knew that Danica would not concede. Somehow, he was also excited. He inferred that right now, he would be all that Danica would be thinking about, which gladdened his heart.
• "What did she say this time?" He asked Paul, as soon as he pressed the answer button.
• "She wants you to come next week because the test showed negative," Paul thought this was the right way to convey the message without repeating Danica's exact words. He also hoped that Loney would just succumb and come over. That way, everyone is happy. However, Loney didn't make it any easier.
