He squeezed his wife’s shoulder. "She says she needs money to buy the most fabulous dress ever for a mixer with the boys’ school, it’s her first dance." Katherine became misty-eyed as she shared the news. "Don’t cry Kath, she’ll be home for Christmas break before you know it," he said grabbing her hand leading her out to the hallway; that had been his primary goal since he walked in. "I saw Sebastian heading to the gatehouse on my way in; did he mention the University?" "I don’t like to press my luck Phillip."
