—Grandma Gladys, The Duchess IT WAS 1999, AND SHE NO LONGER KNEW WHERE TIME went. So much had happened in the years since she met Preston. Some of it was good, most of it was exciting, but the dark times lingered in her memory as well. The darkness receded as she watched him sit at the kitchen table with papers spread out in front of him, listening to whatever the man across from him was saying. Allan was a business associate. A guy who connected inventors with investors. Allan and Preston did business together, and Allan showed up today to talk about some big opportunity. As Preston laughed at something Allan said, she wondered if there were two of him. The rational and fun side, the part that made her smile and challenged her to political discussions. Then there was the demanding, break-her-down side. The longer they were together, the more difficulty she had telling the sides apart. He knew people everywhere and had his fingers in everything. He listened, watched, and waited. No matter how he treated her, he had this ability to charm even the hardest heart.
