    Summary

    He leaned across the bar and gave her drink an extra splash of liquor. Then: “What does nonstop mean?”
    She squinted at him. “Continuously, without ceasing.”
    He rolled his eyes. “You said you work nonstop. How much do you work?”
    She shrugged. “Eighty or so hours a week, usually. Sometimes more, if I have a deadline.”
    “Jesus, Granger, when do you sleep?”
    “Between the hours of 1 and 5 a.m. most days. But you should be familiar with this; it’s standard solicitor behavior, isn’t it?”
    “No. I worked 10 to 3 Monday through Friday. It’s called having boundaries, Granger, you should try it.”
    “Where did you work that you could get away with those hours?”
    “Well, I couldn’t. That’s why I work here now.”

    I'm onky at 27% and already I am completely entranced at the Antwan'ness of Antwan, Nigel's zillion jobs and back-up hat, Nebraska! and all the delish ofmd allusions.
