Johnathan hadn’t expected his grandfather to agree so easily. The Wynn family estate was heavily guarded, and the old man never let anyone stay there. Even Quinn had only been allowed to live in the guards‘ quarters at the foot of the mountain–far from the main house.

But now, the old man was suggesting that Sierra move in too.

Johnathan hesitated. The estate’s security was classified S–level. If Sierra lived there, it would put his mind at ease. Still, he couldn’t figure out what his grandfather was really after.

After all, not long ago, the old man had been all too eager to use Quinn to drive a wedge between him and Sierra. Why the sudden change of heart?

Sierra spoke up when she noticed his silence after the call.

Johnathan paused a moment before relaying what his grandfather had said.

Sierra thought for a moment, then replied, “Let’s go.”

Johnathan blinked in surprise. “I thought you wouldn’t want to.”

Johnathan still didn’t agree immediately. He and Sierra were on the same page: the estate was secure, yes–but he worried she’d be mistreated there.
