Myrah's POV 

Christian was told to stay put so I could go check on Monica by myself. He was aware by this point that I had made the whole cellphone story up. I appreciated that he wasn't obtrusive. He honoured my requests.

Mrs. Alexander, please.

You can call me Myrah. 

Why is that?

So, Myrah, take care. You only have ten minutes. If you take more time, I'll follow you. Give me a signal if there's an issue, and I'll help you out. Just be sure nothing goes wrong, Christian remarked with a smile that belied his worry.

"I'm seeing Monica right now. Both Val and you are familiar with her. She's not going to hold a knife to my throat or anything, after all. Relax. I will return in five minutes.

I got out of the car and walked over to Monica's place. I rode the elevator up to the floor, where I was told to go. Most of the time, it seemed safe and pleasant.
