“A man may daydream of how he would spend a million dollars, but playing the same game with a billion dollars sours the fantasy. There are too many possibilities. The house he once wished for with all his heart is suddenly too small. The travel, too cheap. He wanted to visit an island. Now he contemplates buying one.”
“Doby started to swallow but his throat was so dry he coughed. How would he explain that one to von Portzer? One million dollars stolen.”
“If one man has a dollar he didn’t work for, some other man worked for a dollar he didn’t get.”
“He grinned a slow, lazy grin and nipped at my lips. I smiled softly; he looked so young and beautiful and carefree in that moment. Not the CEO who ran a billion dollar company, but a man that looked his age. Playful and sweet…”
“Suddenly it was too hard to be in his presence, too painful to know that he would belong to someone else.”
“A dollar for your thoughts. Inflationlife was too short to spend time spinning your wheels somewhere you didn't want to be.”
