Adeline POV
Just as I was about to give up on my search, I heard the front door open and close.
John was home.
And he was the perfect person to ask.
After finding no information from any company about a meeting, I knew that the story Zale had given me had been just that, a story. But now I needed to find out what was the truth, then. And there was one person right here in this very house that would be able to tell me just that.
I quickly left Zale’s office, knowing that I had to catch John quickly. He often came and left without staying long. His primary goal had been to keep me safe, and he could do that without staying for long periods of time.
I also knew that he was seeing Leona often, and I was glad for that. It kept her a little out of trouble, and the quicker she healed, the sooner Zale would start to forgive himself for things that were entirely out of his control.
I left the room and headed into the hall, and I spotted him turning a corner.
