After disconnecting the call, Hannah was awash in conflicted emotions.
She was torn between trusting Bryson and acknowledging that Rocco wouldn’t make false claims.
Gripping her phone, she resolved to visit Muvrand at her earliest opportunity, aiming to unearth some of Bryson’s history.

Hannah lifted her gaze, locking eyes with Bryson’s grin.

Bryson’s smile warmed at her commendation.
“I’m happy you enjoy it.”
As she continued to eat, Hannah’s eyes rested on the bowl of noodles before her.
“By the way, Bryson, where did you go to college?”
“Why the sudden curiosity about my education?”
