In the end, Paige Summers opened the door.
It was time to have a serious talk with Shawn Monroe.
At the very least, she wanted to know what he was playing at, hounding her like this. She certainly didn't believe it was for something as simple as lust!
She led Shawn Monroe into the house, and they sat down.
Levi Young came out of his room, head bowed. "Should I get some water?"
'Pfft!'
'Get some water? Are you trying to poison him?'
Paige Summers had to admit, the thought had crossed her mind. But if Shawn Monroe died, the drawbacks would definitely outweigh the benefits. Not only would she have to face pursuit from the Citadel, but Marcus Monroe's reaction would be unpredictable... 'Best to forget it. It hasn't come to that yet.'
She shook her head. "No, that's alright. I'll call you if I need you." 'So don't get too comfortable. I might still need you, so be ready!'
Levi Young obviously understood her unspoken message. He gave a solemn nod before turning to leave.
