He wished to focus on his task, finding everything he could about Luisa and her mother, Mrs. Sarah Richmond. So far, the clue was staring him in the face. He just had to connect the dots. But to do that, he had to find the missing link and stop being distracted.
Just like now, he was parked outside the walls of another palace when he had no business being there. He should have gone straight home. Instead, he had to make this unnecessary detour.
"Damnit! What are you doing?" He asked himself as he sat brooding inside his car like a goddamn stalker.
He knew perfectly well why he was staring at a particular spot on one of the balconies in the palace. After the earlier incident, he had to make sure she was ok.
He knew he should stay away from her. He promised he would. He did not deserve a girl like her. Besides, she was too young for her. It was a mistake to get involved with her in the first place.
Thanks
