Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Neil looked at me with a complex expression, as if he was taken aback by my words.

“Ms. Finch, how about showing a little decorum? What do you take me for?” Ariana retorted with a flare of anger, “I was just thinking, since I’m already here to pick up Mr. Mitch, I might as well take him home. It saves you guys the trouble. Is there something wrong with that?”

Sometimes I had to admire Neil’s tenacity. Even in this situation, he still remembered his mission to prove his innocence through Mitch.

But I didn’t completely trust Neil. If he went alone, would he really be able to bring Mitch back? Would Ariana seize the opportunity to follow?
