What Aly was about to tell me had to wait because, just as her lips parted, two tall, burly men dressed in dark suits entered the small restaurant and swiftly made their way to our table. I was scared at first, but then I recognized them. They were dressed just like the guards at my mother's mansion, and I assumed Aly had recognized them too because she didn't resist their presence at all, as if it were normal. "What's going on? What are they doing here?" I snapped, annoyed by this intrusion. It felt similar to the one I had experienced when Bruce entered my bedroom, the afternoon the twins visited me through a window. "You need to come with us, miss. It's a matter of utmost importance for your safety," one of the men to my right tried to convince me, appealing to a sense of diplomacy
