Pouring a finger of whiskey into the shot glass beside her laptop, she saluted. “To Luke!”
The liquor burned in the sweetest way. This adventure had been bittersweet, but in the end, Luke’s tenacity and determination had prompted her to remain involved and they had saved children, she knew that to her very marrow.

“IT’S DONE. I PLAYED the final move against Bracks.”
“You always did like to win.”
Prepared to protest Roux’s acerbic comment, Garin stopped himself from sounding like a prideful old bastard.

“Does she now? The two of you come to terms and play nice?”
“She did spend the night in my hotel room, so take that how you will. Good night, Roux.” He hung up, smirking. Roux would eventually decide that Garin had been baiting him, but to know he’d initially be shocked and upset thinking that Annja Creed may have spent the night with him was a win too sweet to ignore.
