Chapter 29

Eloise went upstairs. When she got to the second floor, she couldn't help but take another look down.

Harvey's car was still parked there, the shiny gold Bentley a bit of a stand-out in the run-down neighborhood. It was no place for a man of Harvey's status.

Eloise thought Harvey was better suited for the society cocktail parties. Everything that happened tonight felt like a minor blip in her life, something she ought to forget after a good night's sleep.
