"I appreciate this, Lucas," Todd Baker responded, offering him a bright smile. "It'll be a nice addition to my study."
When Vera returned with a glass in each hand, Todd was already welcoming Luke with a hug. "Speaking of whiskey," her father continued, pulling back when he saw her approach, "you're about to have the best whiskey sour you've ever tasted."
Luke accepted the drink with a gracious smile and took a sip. Todd pounded him on the shoulder, still beaming, his gaze shooting from Luke to his daughter and back again. "Welcome, son. I hope you'll have a drink with me once you've met everyone. If you can get away from my wife, that is."
