Hannah’s voice grew tender, her gaze meeting Declan’s with a glint of vulnerability.
“I don’t want you believing I’m mired in sketchy debts, nor do I wish to falsely accuse Miss Patel. Our best shot is to review the financial activity under our names. It’s all about proving who’s clean and who’s not. What are your thoughts, Declan?”

“Why are you here?!”
One of the police officers seemed quite familiar with Clive.
“Who’s your bail candidate today? Don’t you see we’re busy right now? Return tomorrow if you’ve got business!”
“Well, Officer Carter, I do apologize, but my business today is exceedingly urgent and can’t wait until tomorrow. I’ve heard that there’s a Miss Moore here giving a statement, and I’ve come to find her. Is she still here?”
ALL eyes instinctively turned toward Hannah.
