Wow, Marianna, that was spooky.
I hope Giovanni enjoys the Bahamas!
It’s always a pleasure to hear your voice. Thanks for your very creative story.

Hello Marianna, Will Brandon be the next project as a mannequin?
It was so scary to accept some coffee from a newly met person. We don’t know what the intention is.

Hi Lotchie,
Yes, Brandon is the next victim. When I wrote the story I thought of Giovanni as someone who had a shop in the area for years. So, people might not ‘know’ him personally, but are familiar with him, and therefore think of him as a safe person to chat to and to accept a coffee invitation 😃

That’s scary. Trust no one; it is the safest way out of trouble like that.
