Atlas nodded and softly explained, "Yes. Fremont Bay is the safest place for you right now. I've ensured tight security there since it was constructed."

"Don't be so nervous. I'm fine! I'll go back, but I want to return to the Pierce residence first," I asserted firmly.

After all, that place had a different allure for me.
