The delicious entrees

Nick learned that the lovely couple went missing this morning. A welcome surprise that he could capitalize on to his advantage if the rumors were true.

He learned from a source that Marcus could not contact his best friend, his bodyguards, and even Dani. They were still trying to determine where the couple decided to go or why they left in the first place. 

"Hi, Cassie. How was your sleep?" He moved towards the bed, sat down near her, and touched her face, waking her up in the process.

It was already late in the morning, but he did not want to disturb her peaceful sleep until now. He could not wait for her to wake up so that he could share his news with her.

"What do you want?" She muttered under her breath as she stretched her arms, then suddenly feeling the leather-bound that prevented her from moving.
