Finding his sister was the most important thing to him right now. He might have to drop everything and follow a lead. Did he make that clear? Sometimes he figured people understood things when they really didn’t…especially women. “I need to ask you somethin’ before I accept your generous job offer.” She snorted. “Who said it was generous?” He needed her on his side so just grinned at her joke. “Even though I’ve only known you for a bit, I can tell you have a generous spirit.” She hesitated, then mumbled, “So I’m told.” There seemed to be a story there, but he couldn’t afford to get sidetracked. “Well, I hate to say this, but findin’ my sister is more important to me than anything else. If I get a lead, I’ll have to go and investigate it. I hope you can be flexible.” “Of course!” She seemed offended that he even had to explain.
