over the report from my investigators, and I’m still struggling to wrap my head around everything they

It seems like Abby has had a tough couple of years. Even though her father gave her a generous

she was able to build her restaurant into a must-go spot. Now she’s doing great. She owns one of the

top eateries here, which is a feat in and of itself.
