He goes through the prompts to get to his balance and puts the call on speakerphone so Mike can hear the readout. Mike’s expression melts from challenging to wide-eyed shock.“I’m good for it,” Harvey repeats. “Shall we play?”“I’ll deal first, then you,” Mike agrees. “Best out of three games.” He belts out in song, “Signed, sealed, delivered—I’m yours.”A bubble of laughter spills out of Mike, clearly amused with himself. Harvey’s lips twitch. Mike better watch it, or he’ll get the kid to agree to that, too. -- source link
