No one knew what Yanis had said to Allison, but in the end, Allison decided not to leave with Stephanie.

When Stephanie heard Allison’s decision, she just nodded, “If you need me later, call me. I’ll come get you.”

They talked a little longer before Stephanie left.

Once alone, Allison took out her phone and dialed a number.

The call was answered almost instantly. “Ms. Pierce, what can I do for you?”
