Chapter 89: A Warning

As the brothers left one after the other, Nora placed a hand on Lucien's arm asking him to wait as she spoke slowly," I'd like a word with you, if you don't mind." Since they'd all driven here by themselves, Lucien shrugged and waved them away as he waited for Nora to say whatever she wanted to.

"What is it?" Lucien looked down at the hand that was on his forearm as he questioned her. A week ago, this move would have made him beam and hope that he had a future with Nora but now, he only felt his heart troubled.

"I am sorry for misunderstanding you and accusing you of stalking me. I was just too..."

"Paranoid..." Lucien finished off for her. "Hey, we are family now, so you don't have to apologize. It must have been terrifying for you and it was natural that you would feel unsafe. Also, I read through the file about what you told the investigator. It must have seemed too much of a coincidence."
