Ford didn't know Adrienne Selwyn, which surprised him. He'd have thought if Cash was close to someone, he would have at least met her once or twice. They saw each other at parties; Cash could have introduced him. The fact that the first thing he'd said about her was who she was related to, however, made Ford think perhaps they weren't close after all.

He spent a minute chewing over his response, trying to think of the gentlest and most non-accusatory way to phrase it. "This doesn't sound like it was your idea."
