"I don't ask this very often as I prefer to make a judgement myself, but I must do it now. Can I trust you, Ian?" Scarlet asked as they were going down a road she was not familiar with.

"It's a bit late to be asking me that now with how close we are to where I am taking you. You can," Ian quickly changed his answer because of the look he received. "I am not taking you to kill you if that is what you are concerned about. I told your driver where we were going and he wasn't suspicious."

"I will not place my life in Harry's suspicion. Can I know now where we are going?" Scarlet asked her curiosity at its limit.

"To my home. You gave me a tour of your estate so I thought it was only fitting that I showed you my home. You'll know where to find me if I am not at my business. Too soon?" Ian asked.

"How could it be when I invited you to my home?" Scarlet said, not scared to be alone with him.
