As they wandered through the streets, Harlee mulled over the identity of the mole while Rhys fretted about choosing the perfect spot for their date.

The interior was modest yet charming, with every table occupied.
Harlee was about to suggest they try the food when a familiar voice called from behind.

Did he intend to reconcile? Since she had been figuring out how to make Averie divulge more, Liams sudden appearance felt perfectly timed.
Liam, mistaking Harlees smile for warmth, widened his grin and strode over, nodding at Rhys before attempting to place a hand on Harlees head in a fatherly gesture.

For a moment, Liams hand paused awkwardly in mid-air.

Green? Harlees tone was clipped as she replied, Yes.
Thanks to your wife, I can finally enjoy a meal out.

In a moment of desperation, guilt perhaps creeping in, Liamstammered, Harlee know you despisefor what I did, but I had my reasons. I never knew about Averies sins.
You have to help me.
Harlee smirked.
Clearly, Liam assumed her predicament was the militarys way of holding her responsible for Averies wrongdoings.
