He looked composed and polished as ever, refilling my glass with water and cracking a light–hearted smile. “What’s the big secret? It’s just that revealing too much might bring trouble his way”

“Why is that?” Molly inquired.

“Didn’t you mention he and your dad fought?” Mark lowered his gaze, keeping his voice even. “The more details you spill, the more worried he’ll get about Jane. Imagine the chaos it would stir at home. Isn’t that just inviting trouble?”

“You have a point…” Molly conceded, nodding. “But I’ve spilled the beans, and even though he hasn’t seen it yet, there’s no taking it back.”

Mark’s smile didn’t waver. “No worries. We’ll cross that bridge when we get to it.”
