“Are you up and moving?” Kylian asked when Brett answered his phone.
“I’ve been up since forever. I had a commissioned painting I needed to finish.”
“Did you?”
“Yep. The client is picking it up this evening.”
“Then you’re free for the moment?”
“I am.” Brett knew why he’d asked. Kylian wanted to know if he had made a decision about joining his team. “You’re welcome to come over, if that’s what you’re really asking.”
“It is. I’ll be there in ten, give or take.”
As good as his word, Kylian rang the bell for Brett’s apartment ten minutes later. After buzzing him in, Brett started a new pot of coffee since he’d gone through the first pot while he’d been painting.
“You do drink coffee, don’t you?” Brett asked after he’d let Kylian in and offered him some.
“No. Only mead,” Kylian replied
