Nathan was definitely more nervous than | was. His handsface remained flushed, as if the room were too

advice?”
He blinked, surprised. “Are you short on cash?”
The question caughtoff guard, a small, unexpected flicker of warmth in my chest. But just as quickly, my
rationality reasserted itself. “No. | just want to learn how to make money work for me.”
Nathan nodded. “That's smart. Always good to have an exit strategy.”
