“Besides, although you could be living a party girl life, jetting around the world and hanging out on yachts, you work full-time at the college. You also volunteer at the library, you read to the seniors at Harbor Hill and you deliver food for Meals on Wheels.” “I like to keep busy,” Lily said mildly. “Plus, Gabriel is philanthropic. Sure, he expects to”
