“I think you should head back soon. Grace’s situation is delicate. If anything happens, just call me. I’ll catch the first flight back to Valmere,” Hannah offered.

“If you don’t come get me, the police will. Then you’ll have to pick me up from the station.”
Edwin sounded utterly defeated. On her end, Hannah was equally exasperated.
“Tell them to hold on for twenty minutes. I’ll be right there.”
