They have several [illegal] offshore accounts with sufficient funds squirreled away for early retirements, except both of them are major workaholics. And of course, the plot happens.

A young and naive reporter, he is thrust into a world of crime and occult after deciding to help investigate the death of the MMC's brother, a former colleague. #DeckTheHalls

Step 2: When they talk to each other, have them joke, flirt, and show their compatibility.
Step 3: Have them pay attention to and anticipate each other's needs.

I'm proud I wrote my first book. THE DEVOURING is nowhere near a perfect book or the best book, but I accomplished something I set out to do, and I could not be prouder of myself. #pretendpanel
