Julian gradually realized what was amiss. “She didn’t even tell me about it before leaving, or discuss it with me.”

Julian hadn’t followed them. What if something really did happen?

Layla quickly updated Julian on Diana and Jim’s interaction, and how Jim had booked the tickets for them.

Julian immediately caught on. “Jim Hughes invited Diana to Jacroaof?”
