The trip to Japan had been very beneficial. For myself and for the Agency. Unfortunately, it had also left me falling behind on work. Which is why I was still sitting at my desk, working, while everyone else was off enjoying their evenings. I sighed deeply as I realized if I weren't here, I'd be home alone. Marty and Kara were together. Connor and Ayelet ha...
Authors note: I strongly urge you to read the preceding chapters. With the context they provide, this chapter and those that follow will be much more enjoyable for you.

I shuffled forward in line and absently rubbed my boarding pass between my fingers. Marvin and Julie Lee, Jennifer's parents, were just in front of me. In front of them, her brother Chris was gabbing with Tom who was pushing a stroller laden with a diaper bag and carryons. Rebecca was bouncing baby Anna on her shoulder.
