“I’ll see what I can do to get you some day trips out, but I can’t make any promises.” Glancing at her watch, she pushes herself off the desk. “In the meantime, I’ll get Donnacha to grant you access to the rest of the building.”
“The fire escapes, I hope?”
That amuses her. “No, there’s a hell of a lot more to One Diabhal Square than this charming penthouse.” With a little wink, she adds, “I think you’ll find a few ways to keep yourself entertained here.”
A few beats of calm roll between us. This day just gets weirder and weirder. It’s Poppy who breaks the silence. “Anyway, I have to go. Aisling will be around from now on, so anything you need, let her know. I’m sure I’ll be seeing you again real soon.” She brushes her fingers over the table and walks toward the door.
“Wait.” She turns back to me, her smile expectant. “And what about you?”
“What about me, darling?”
“You said you were in a similar situation to me. How did you escape?”
She laughs, only this time, it isn’t a cute, girly noise. It’s loud and abrupt, every decibel adding another acre of goose bumps to my skin.
When she lifts up her hand, something white and bright glints in the low lighting. A huge diamond ring.
“I didn’t.”
And with that, she’s gone.
