After a brief two-second pause, she suggested, “Vincent, why don’t you toss in a bit of Solomon's Seal?” Vincent glanced at Mirabella. “Solomon's Seal?” She nodded affirmatively.

Nikolai flashed a knowing smile, “I'm not telling you.” Knox got agitated. The biggest regret of his life was getting to know this darn old man.
Nikolai’s phone buzzed in his pocket, and he walked away to take the call.
Mirabella and Vincent continued discussing various dishes. As one spoke, the other listened, oblivious to whatever the two elder men were talking about at the door. Before long, Mirabella stopped distracting Vincent from his cooking and stepped out of the kitchen.
