Moses chuckled. “Feeling generous today, huh?”
“Generous, am I? Now you don’t think | was keeping you all waiting on purpose?” Herbert smirked at Moses.
Moses let out a chuckle. “A legend like you deserves a grand entrance.”
Herbert grinned. “Now that’s flattery.”
He slid into the seat beside Nate, but his eyes flicked toward the man still hovering by the door. “Doug, why are
