"Mrs. Chadwick, good moming" Marina said.
"Who are these guys?" Gwendolyn asked, eyeing the two men with confusion.

Gwendolyn didn't think much of it, her mind preoccupied with troubles anu ner stomach without appetite. Marina insisted Gwendolyn eat something, pushing a plate of crispy bacon and sandwiches to her. Unable to refuse, Gwendolyn took the sandwiches and hailed a cab.

No matter when or where you'll find your way back to me] The post had a picture of a hospital room and a tall man with a stem profile. His features were sharp and commanding.

Gwendolyn pursed her lips and texted Jeannie, asking if she'd seen Selina's post.
"No." Jeannie replied.
Gwendolyn realized the post was visible only to her.

A hand tapped her shoulder as she was about to push the door open. Startled, she turned to see Jameson. Jameson motioned her to follow.
