Chapter 12 Pilar showered, found a black skirt and button down short-sleeve shirt and dressed while watching the clock. She was running late for her daughter’s wedding preparations. There was no way she could meet Samuel at three like he’d asked. Today was her daughter’s wedding and she should have remembered that. She quickly texted Samuel, Caro needs me today. Can we meet at the wedding and then reception later on? She rushed as fast as she could, but the cross she wore for years wasn’t next to her nightstand. She finally found it in her safe, wrapped it around her neck and raced out the door. The moment the elevator opened she read Samuel’s response, I’ll miss you. See you tonight then. Good. At least whatever was bothering him wasn’t such a big deal that he wouldn’t see her again.
