Ian was not surprised when Zane showed up with the personal items Mina had left behind in their haste to leave. Maggie Arden had been taken out of the event without witnesses, but even if there were, Ian already had people spreading the word that Maggie had gotten drunk and taken a nasty fall.
Originally, Ian wanted to set Paul up to take the blame for his fiancé's condition, but when he hinted at it to Mina, she was adamantly against hurting Paul in any way. Despite the fact that the man would not listen to her, and apart from himself, Ian knew that Mina was the forgiving type.
"How is she?" Zane asked. Ian found it comical that Mina was mostly uninjured, but everyone who knew the truth of what happened immediately asked after her, not Miss Maggie, the actual injured party.
"She is Mina; broken up, full of guilt, and consumed with the idea that she is going to jail." Zane shook his head.
"Do you think she would want to see anyone?"
