She also didn't have any enemies. In addition, as far as Sabrina can tell, there are no leads to work with.

And as soon as she arrives, Page discovers that she loves Agathion – the old fashioned uniforms, dusty books, steaming cups of black tea, and rigorous intellectual debate (bonus points if it’s conducted in ancient Greek or Latin).

Suddenly, I’m staying up all night with him, making out, making plans, and kicking his adorable butt in chess.
