The man on the other end paused, his voice still frosty. “Looking for family? Fine, I’ll forgive you. Now get yourself home!
“I’m on my way,” she muttered, driving with a mixture of irritation and resignation. “You’re being paranoid. Everyone has some secrets, and you’ve already dug into mine. But you…”
Whitney trailed off, her thoughts suddenly snagging on something Elaine had said before leaving–something utterly baffling
She’d hinted that ‘L‘ was harboring a secret about someone who had once saved his life.

Resolved, she pressed down harder on the gas pedal, her spirits lifting as she drove.
Back at the villa, Whitney pulled out the small, well–worn contact book from her bag, cradling it like a precious relic. She stroked its cover, her eyes welling up with tears.
