“I get it,” Ryiad said grimly. “He’s been a problem for too long. I am glad you called; we have been getting news reports about all of the unrest in Ireland.”

“Ahh, yeah, it’s becoming concerning.”

“And seems to be helping O’Connor’s popularity.”

“You know him?” Salem asked, surprised.

“No, but my uncles do. They went to University together. Stirring up trouble, even back then. He had conservative views in public but was completely different behind closed doors. There were a couple of women who accused him of sexual assault, but they were silenced.”

“What? Seriously?” That wasn’t good and something that should really be passed on.

“Yes. Jonan has been doing some research into him, but we’ve come up with nothing incriminating. I just thought it was worth mentioning.”

Shit.

He glanced at the time and saw it was well after nine. Had Tamsyn arrived? He hadn’t heard her.

“I’ve got to go. Talk to you later and I’ll work on mum.”

“I appreciate that. It is upsetting Alina.”

Something that wasn’t allowed.

He got it.

“Brr,it’s so cold out there.”

Salem held the door open as Tamsyn stepped inside.

He hadn’t been pacing by the front door, wondering where on earth she was.

Nope. That would be a ridiculous waste of time.

“It’s only seven degrees out there,” he snapped.

“Yep. Like I said, super cold.”

“And you’re wearing a hoodie.”

A black hoodie. All he’d ever seen her wear was black and it really didn’t seem to suit her personality. She kept recycling the same clothes and he was starting to worry about why that was.

“Yep. I am.”

“Where is your coat?”

“Hmm?” she asked as she tried to step by him.

“I didn’t give you permission to leave and you haven’t answered my question, young lady.”

Urgh. Really?

Permission to leave?

Young lady?

Could he sound any more like a dick?

“Permission to leave? I need permission to leave?” She sounded kind of breathless.
