Ezra sighed even as he kept his eyes on her.
No matter how much he thought about it, he was up against a wall.
He had no leads except Lana. And she'd be protected by James.
She had to be.
At this point, he had no other choice.
If this future version of Connell truly knew the outcome of everything he'll do…
If she had even the foundations of a solution, then he'd take the risk.
"Fine." He nodded with a resigned sigh. "I'll follow your instructions."
Connell nodded with a smile and for a brief moment, Ezra could see relief in her eyes.
Then it disappeared as if it had never been there.
Somehow, seeing that calmed Ezra. Connell wasn't all knowing. She couldn't escape everything even if she'd been through this before.
Then he paused.
What if she'd shown him relief to put him at ease?
No. He couldn't think like that. Yes, he'd be on guard but there should be no second guessing.
