Sherman eventually caved in and nodded after seeing Rita's gaze. "There's no stopping you, is there? In that case, I have one request. If there is ever a time when your safety is threatened, you're to withdraw yourself from the investigation right away."Rita was a little surprised when she managed to convince him. She was practically leaping for joy as she ran up to Sherman. "Of course! I'm not an idiot. You don't know how much this means to me! I didn't expect you to agree. Thank you so much!""Well, how could I refuse when a certain someone declared in my face that her original intention for becoming a reporter was to get justice for people? I can't dampen her spirits after that..." Sherman smiled faintly when he saw Rita's glee."By the way," Rita's tone became more serious, "I investigated Esmond's schedules. He'll likely show up at some club tomorrow, but I'm not sure if the owner is one of his people, I haven't found much about that person. Would you like to check it out?"S

Rita had offered to carry the bags out of consideration, but Sherman remained firm in his response. "You're the one who shouldn't underestimate me! These are just a couple of clothes. Let's hurry along now!"Their interaction did not escape the notice of the clothes boutique's staff member, who found the interaction particularly heartwarming. In her view, Rita and Sherman seemed to be a perfect match, which made it all the more unfortunate that they were not together.As they finally settled into the car, Rita was still clutching the almost weightless paper bag in her hand as Sherman prepared to drive her home."Are you heading back to your family home?" Sherman inquired.Rita shook her head. "No. You can drop me off at the place I'm renting.""Sure."After a brief silence, Rita put forth a question. "Why didn't you ask about my decision not to go home?""What's there to ask? You're an adult, and you're not obligated to stay at home every day. Besides, I think staying alone give

It would be remiss to claim that Vince did not love Rita, but there were numerous considerations clouding his feelings. There was his desire to have a family that at least looked complete and could be admired by all.Sherman could not help but feel a pang of sorrow for Rita's predicament and wished she would not have to go through that at all.The names Karen Parr and Esmond Parr popped up in his mind, and he sat up abruptly as soon as he thought of that. For some reason, he had numerous recent encounters with individuals whose surname was Parr."Tch, I shouldn't be overthinking things. Parr is a common surname. It's absurd to assume that they're all connected," he chided himself before settling back down.Half an hour later, he still found it difficult to sleep. It was one of those times he wished that Lucy would have just handed him several stacks of documents to review. Rather than toss aimlessly in bed, he could better use the time to review some contracts. Unfortunately, he di

The attendant continued, "You can't bring money to the afterlife, right? The only way to make the money yours is to spend it on things you like. I can assure you that our services will not let you down."Since Sherman insisted on an expensive room, Rita had no choice but to agree. "Fine, but I'll let you know that I won't hesitate to file a complaint if your service doesn't meet our expectations. I won't let my man waste his money," she cautioned in a voice dripping with sweetness. It was unsettling despite having a charming demeanor."Of course, Miss," the attendant assured her before muttering into a walkie-talkie to inform her colleagues that room A118 would be prepared for them. Moments later, a male staff member took over the attendant's duties."Come with me," ushered the male attendant.Rita leaned toward Sherman and whispered in a tone loud enough for the male attendant in front of them to her, "Babe, where do you think he's taking us? I feel like we're going in circles. It

Rita's resilience—and all that she had encountered in her years within the family—resulted in pent-up emotions within her. Without Sherman by her side, she might not have revealed such a fragile facet of herself.In addition, she had matured swiftly in the past few years too. Though her family disapproved of her work and she occasionally traded barbs with her stepmother and stepsister, none of that could match up to the challenges of a reporter roughing it on the streets.Once Rita had composed herself, her mind churned with questions. For example, she wanted to know how they got information that she was going to be there with Sherman. She had kept her investigation of Esmond close to her chest, discussing it only with Sherman. That raised the question of how Esmond knew about their arrival and if his counter-surveillance operations were that formidable.After she shared her concerns with Sherman, he thought for a moment before asking, "Are you certain you didn't mention Esmond to a
