XXXIV. Madame Giry's Urgent Letter

Dear Erik and Zuri,

Since you have left I have been busy protecting your secret from the world. Zuri's father has been searching for her everywhere. Though I do not think he knows you have left the country. I do not think though that we should put that behind him. He has hired many private investigators that are searching for her. I wish you both the best with your new life. I hope Aya is doing well and you two are adjusting. Please respond as fast as you can. I hope you are safe.

Antionette Giry

Erik read the letter to Zuri. They stared at each other in disbelief. "Erik. What if he tries again?"

"There is no way he would find us. There are a more places on this earth then he can send people to. He will not be able to find us." He watched her look nervously at the paper. "Stop worrying. It is not good for your condition."

She scowled at him. "Please don't tell me that."

"Sweetness, don't worry. Please."

Zuri nodded then knitted a bit while watching the firelight bounce off the walls. She watched him look at her. "What?"

"You look stressed."

"I'm worried about Antoinette. What if my father finds that she is protecting us?"

"He won't. Please stop worrying."

She sighed then said, "Fine."

"I love you."

"I love you too Erik."
