When Hera and Bernard reached the entrance of the courtyard house, they seemed to have reached an unspoken agreement. Hera didn't ask Bernard to stay. He said he had some matters to attend to back at the Killians.

Ten minutes later, Hera went inside, changed her clothes, and called Samantha.

"Are you done with work? Want to go out for a drink?"

"Yeah, I'm done. Weren't you at the auction with your dear Bernard? Back so soon?"

"Let's find a place to talk."

Hera hung up and headed to Nightless Haven in a taxi.

"Come out for a drink at the old place."

Nightless Haven was the largest bar in Jedburgh. All sorts of people frequented the bar.
