After the museum, Martin had to get back to the guesthouse to meet with his lawyer. Because of the tension of the situation, he thought it was best if he did so alone. I told him to text me afterward to let me know how it went.
Safe at home, Stan was able to take a break and resume his post in the security room. Meanwhile, I decided to start planning Martin's party - at least in my head. I first went on a jog around the estate, enjoying the fresh air and sunny weather.
The outdoors were one of those things that I had vowed to appreciate more after being kidnapped. Listening to a podcast, I circled around the house and the grounds, noticing plants I hadn't realized existed on Roman's property like the blooming lilac bush that smelled heavenly of a light floral scent.
