For Cori, who every single day amazes me
For Dotty Rubin and Evelyn Meltzer, Nanny and Grandma, for teaching me my past, and in the process, showing me my future
And in memory of Ben Rubin and Sol Meltzer, Poppy and Grandpa, whose legacies still touch our entire family

I know where I'm going. And I know who I want to be. That's why I took this job in the first place . . . and why, four years later, I still put up with the clients. And their demands. And their wads of money. Most of the time, they just want to keep a low profile, which is actually the bank's specialty. Other times, they want a little . . . personal touch. My phone rings and I tee up the charm. "This is Oliver," I answer. "How can I help you?"
