Debra remained silent the entire way.

    Once they arrived at the Potter Mansion, Drake drove the car into the underground garage.

    He asked, "What do you say? Can you finish packing in half an hour?"

    "I''ve already packed everything," she whispered. "Thank you."

    Drake acted like he hadn''t heard her. "Come back within half an hour. My time is valuable."

    Debra nodded, realizing he was giving her time and space.

    She opened the car door and entered the house. It was as grand and solemn as before but felt so empty now.

    Debra sat in the back seat. "Drake, can I ask you something?"

    "Go ahead."
