Nicole followed behind me while I led the way outside, absolutely thrilled. The thought of having Nicole in my house tonight brought a glamour of hope to me.
What if she reconsiders, and agrees to marry me?
We got to the spot where my car was parked, and somehow my men recognized me from the distance even though it was dark, and got the door open. One of them rushed to Nicole who was now sleepwalking, and assisted her to the car.
He was careful, not to roughly handle her, I noted, and at the same time, not to get too close with her.
I waited outside the car for Nicole to go in but the man who had assisted her to the car, stood confused, not sure which of the cars to put her in. After a few indecisive minutes had passed, He began to lead her to the third car.
