[ Despite the obviously over-formal and pandering tone, Clay found the corner of his mouth twitching as he read “same of you.” The realization had his expression as rapidly sink into a deep scowl before finishing the rest of the email; it deepens when the holidays are mentioned, then again at the “billing rate” doubling. ]

Cadence,

That won’t be a problem. Your help with my family’s funds that were tied up in Japanese contracts more than furnishes your higher rate for this stressful and busy season. Thank you again for those late nights that saw our investments out of their claws. Good riddance.

I do hope you’re doing something enjoyable for yourself after this first quarter? As far as the upcoming event, it should be more traditional than that fundraiser in October. Maybe that’s at least something to brighten your month.

[ Clay gives a wry smile and presses send, fondly remembering the children’s hospital and halloween costumes. He would hold the memory of black-dressed and vaguely Morticia-looking Cadence being cajoled into a red clown nose for the event’s social media content. He was sure it was the last time she would ever speak to him when he re-shared the post on his personal account for “good press” on his business. ]
