Jason eyed Lara and understood what Meg was planning.

Frank was his brother from another mother, so he was not about to impose and left with Meg, leaving just Frank and Lara in the room. Lara took a sip of her drink and suddenly felt much better, even boldly asking, “Where have you been, Lugh? Why didn’t you call?” “Where else could I be?” Frank smiled. “I had things to sort out, but I couldn’t let you know or there’d be trouble.”

Lara pouted. “What trouble? Are you a secret agent or something?”

“You got that right. What I’m doing is no different from that.”

“Really?!”

Lara sprang up, wobbling away. “I need the ladies’ room… Don’t leave, wait for me.”

As she turned, she lost her footing and almost fell headfirst, but Frank caught her quickly, saving her from some serious trouble.
