MANON
Her phone was ringing, she glared at it on the nightstand, Jake's arm tightened around her waist to keep her there and she considered ignoring it, her conscience kicked in though so she snatched it up and answered.
"Hello?"
Her lawyer's familiar voice filled her ear and her heart kicked up.
"Manon, it's Camille. Can you talk?" She sounded calm but that meant nothing, she was a shark and cold as ice, it's why Manon kept her on retainer. She shrugged out of Jake's hold and sat up against the headboard, he looked up at her with sad eyes making her smile. He rested his head in her lap, eyes closed as she replied.
"I can talk. Is everything okay? I was waiting on your email."
"It's moving too quickly for me to discuss over email. The bail has been set at $20k, are you certain you want to do this?"
Camille had her stern voice on, the one she used whenever Manon was doing something she found reckless, which was too often but usually it all turned out okay.
