Chapter 87 She Left

• The drive to town is painful. Eloise's hands are twisted on her lap as they reach the town's outer limits. Her legs were jittery; her heart was heart's trying to escape the growing anxiety, and all the while, she was blinking away tears for Nicholas.
• "We'll park and transfer into Agent Steel's car. He'll drive us to the airport," Hugo announces while they wait at a stoplight. He glances at her. "Now is the time if you're having second thoughts, Eloise."
• "No," she squeezed out and watched the stoplight turn green. Little snowflakes dust the windshield, making her shiver. She hoped she was doing the right thing. She was past changing her mind now, as she knew she must prevent Nicholas from putting himself in danger to help her again.
