Nathan knew her well enough to know that there was nothing he could say or do to dissuade her.
“ALL right, be careful. Don’t wear high heels, you’ll get uncomfortable. And make sure to wrap yourself up, it’s cold outside. Don’t drink too much. Don’t-“
“Okay, okay. I promise not to be reckless and to be on my best behavior.”

Shortly after Lucinda’s car left, Sonny came up to him.

Nathan’s face darkened even more.
“Did you find anything?”
“Nothing yet, not even a single clue. Her plan was clean-cut.”
Nathan sat on the sofa and looked through the documents that Sonny had brought.
“Is it possible that Mekhi is involved in this?” Sonny mused out loud.
