Charles opened his mouth to argue but spotted the lingering remnants of the crowd. All of them were watching the exchange with interest. “Fine,” he said, biting off the word. “I will see you inside.”
Daniel joined them and held out the second cell phone. “I think this is yours.”
Tara smiled. “Thanks. I was looking for that earlier.”
“Tara, this is Daniel. His clan is in Florida. He looks after all the retirees that want to live somewhere warm. And this is Marnie, from Quebec.”
“Nice to officially meet you,” Marnie said. “Awful it had to come to this. Some of these older Chiefs are so touchy.”
Tara laughed. “That’s one way to put it. I’m glad Remy isn’t like that.”
“You two had best get moving,” Daniel said. “You do not want to keep the Council waiting. We’ll see you both for lunch.”
