In the end, Mia Grant didn't go to Portia.
She spoke with Julian Vaughn on the phone. He was planning to come to Jynsia on Friday, so there was no need for her to make a special trip.
This brother of hers was even more considerate than she had imagined.
Of course, if she hadn't known in advance that this background character would push forward a major plot point in the original book, she would have been more than willing to trust him.
The two of them arranged to have dinner on Friday. Julian Vaughn had booked the restaurant and sent her the address early that morning.
He even asked if she needed him to pick her up.
Mia Grant checked the distance and declined.
Julian Vaughn probably had no concept of Jynsia's Friday evening rush hour. She could take the subway straight there, which would be more convenient than him coming to get her.
The weather had been unpredictable lately. One day there were signs of it warming up, and the next, fierce winds would be raging.
