"Where do you know the guy?" Nicolae asked casually when they were driving down the highway back to the Nobel Hotel.
Marie took a deep breath. "We knew each other at Sanna and Julian's wedding. He had been friends with Julian since he was young. Julian himself was actually a good guy, but Larkin came from a mafia background. He asked me out several times, but I always told him that I didn't have time because I had to take care of Summer."
Nicolae understood what was happening. Larkin, who thought Marie was unique and fun, must have fallen in love with her when he met her. But after years he approached Marie, the girl still did not respond to his feelings.
"Is he the one you sent to look for Summer and kill the two kidnappers?" Nicolae asked again. "Does that mean he knows your identity as Goose?"
