Karl was at a loss.
By the time he could react, the cab had already driven away from Sanctuary Heights.
Adelyn was gone, leaving him standing there in complete confusion.
He had received the permission now ...
But was it even valid?
His brows furrowed as he scratched the back of his neck.
Going there was important.
But going without a clear, valid permission from Adelyn felt far too dangerous ...

Just as he was lost in thought, his phone suddenly rang.
Pulling it out, he glanced at the screen.

It had to be about the same thing. But the real question was ...

"Well ..." he mumbled to himself. "Sister-in-law did give me permission. Since she said I can go ... I should be able to, right?"
But there was still one problem.
