Chapter 120 Daphne Kidnaps Mira 2

• Daphne led Mira out to a dusty, cobblestone yard bounded by a long line of garages. A Range Rover was sitting there, its engine already running. Mira clambered into the back, like a sailor in her companion's graceful wake.
• "Where are we going to?" she managed to ask, but Daphne told her that it was a surprise, more like a wedding gift. Mira couldn't help but blush.
• The car roared off, and mindful of the prying eyes, Mira continued to keep her head bent. Half an hour would take them to wherever they were going to, Mira thought, or maybe a little more. She considered fingering the weight of her shoulder bag beneath the veil.
