Chapter 11 - Daniel Makes His First Choice

The next morning Daniel returned alone.
He had withdrawn his support for the Redmont sale and reported the
undisclosed side agreement to the board.
He also announced he was taking leave from Mercer Hardware.
“I don’t trust my own judgment right now.”
He and Melissa were separating while they worked through the debt and
what she had done.
Helen asked whether Tyler wanted to stay with him.
Daniel started to answer automatically, then stopped.
“I’ll ask him.”
“Good.”
He apologized and asked whether she forgave him.
Helen sipped her coffee.

“Not this morning.”
For once, Daniel did not ask her to hurry.
