Gavin ignored him and pulled out a document, handing it over. "Take a look at this. If everything's in order, you'll be leaving the day after tomorrow."

Gavin's gaze flickered over to him, calm but stern. "You don't have to go."

Gernard, sensing danger, immediately became wary. "If I don't go, who are you sending?"
