Quincy visibly panicked. "Miss Nina, please go back to your room. I'll handle this."

Sally had never liked Nina, and with Nash gone, Quincy, who had been entrusted with Nash's wishes, could not let the widow suffer any mistreatment. Nina gestured with her hand. "There's no need. I'll see her myself."
