James pulled into the airport parking lot and insisted on walking Briony inside himself.

Stewart hadn't arrived yet.

Briony checked her phone and saw a message from Stewart with their flight details.

"He's arranged a private jet," Briony said to James, glancing up. "You should head back."

James looked unhappy. He jammed one hand in his pocket and muttered, head down, "I'll wait till he gets here."

"That's not my concern right now. The only thing I care about is bringing my mother home." There was a steely resolve in Briony's eyes. "James, you need to stay here. I still need your help with something."

He looked up, meeting her gaze.
