All right. He came up beside her and covered one of her chilled hands with his.
What if we enjoy what is sure to be an outstanding dinner and then head back to my place and handle whatever is coming together as husband and wife?
She studied his profile, seeing none of the tension or stress in the hard square of his jaw, only resolute determination. Together? She was bewildered as much by the offer as she was by the easy way he delivered it.
Exactly. He faced her, giving her a heated, toe-curling smile.
If only it would be that easy. You stepping up publicly as my husband could very well put Gray Box at risk.
Ive factored that in.
His absolute fearlessness despite the unknowns made her want him more. She hadnt known it was possible to sink deeper into her infatuation with him.
You expect me to live with you at your condo?

Shoulders back, head high, Madison Goode kept pace with the silent and stoic Special Agent Spalding from the FBI at her side. Her high heels clicked softly on the exquisite black marble tile. The sound was the only acknowledgment of their progress. Every inch of the Artistry of the Far East Museum was elegantly appointed and thoughtfully designed, not just the galleries displaying the invaluable collection. To Madison, whod been behind the scenes of many of the most elaborate venues here and around the world, it seemed as if the museum founders had been as eager to inspire the staff as they were the visitors. She appreciated such excellent attention to detail.
As she turned her wrist to check her watch, her platinum and diamond wedding set glowed beautifully under the perfect lighting. Shed had it cleaned yesterday for this occasion, a little unnerved by how awkward and vulnerable she felt in the hours it wasnt on her finger. She took comfort in the familiarity of the jewelry in its rightful place, a calming reminder in what hopefully wouldnt blow up into a crisis.
