Lily had called Ella and she put it on speaker.
"Hey, Mom." Ella said.
"I'm sorry to bother you on your last day, girls. I got a very upsetting phone call from the Paris police." Lily said.

"Nothing. He limped away, and I kept driving."
"That doesn't sound very stalker-ish."
"It's Chuck. It's probably part of some elaborate scheme."
