The man was on a mission. Genny wasn’t naive in the slightest, after all.

But he was right. The last thing she wanted to do was deal with her mother after the hell of a night she’d had. Add in Gunn , who hovered and fussed just as badly, if not worse, and she’d be driven right up the wall completely.
