LOL - everybody wants to be... "Richard Branson wannabes,” I added, referring to the richest man in the world."

I like how the protagonist finagled a future kiss by mentioning baseball bats. Can't blame a besotted guy for trying.

Love this line in particular. What an image to conjure:

“We have a smoking gun in a room with one person in it,” she quipped."

These two characters are doing such a wild, yet restrained, mating dance that the reader is left saying. "Get a room! Soon! Please!" lol

Lol thanks, Ellen. Musk wouldn’t be welcome in the North America of this timeline, and the richest guy had to be someone off the continent, because the economic system is so different, but the reader isn’t really aware of that in this novella. Yeah, they need a room!
