"So, what's your next move with Nola?" "I'll hold off for now," Harlee replied, shaking her head.

"Should I kill Nola?" "Eliminating her would be straightforward, but the Happer family stands with her. Too many people would get involved," Harlee responded quietly.

"Rhys..." Before she could say more, Rhys added, "You'd find a way to go without telling me." He sighed, releasing her from his embrace and meeting her gaze with a grave intensity.
