"Lydia, where are you planning to go?" Mrs. Fay quickly stood up and hurried to Lydia's side.

Mr. Fay joined them, reaching for her suitcase. "We're not against you going out, but it's late. How about you get some rest?"

"I'm not going out for a stroll. I'm going to stay at a friend's place. I'll be with Nina. You know her," Lydia reassured them, specifically mentioning Nina's name to ease their worries.

Mr. and Mrs. Fay did know Nina. They exchanged glances, reluctant to let Lydia leave. After all, Lydia and Quincy had first fallen for each other at the York Corporation.
