Kearney found it both exasperating and amusing, “Septima, the guy was trying to hurt you and here you are worrying about whether he’s injured?” Agnes fell silent all of a sudden.

She hadn’t expected Jared to get so worked up.

Keamey dropped Agnes off at the Pritchard family’s villa./

As the car came to a stop, Kearney spoke up, “You gonna be okay here on your own? Want me to stick around tonight?”

Agnes shook her head with a smile, “I know you’re busy. Go on home, this is my place, I’ll be fine.”

Kearney nodded, “Call me if you need anything.”

Agnes got out of the car and headed towards the villa.
