—To the comeback kid in all of us.— * Hair blow-dried into submission. Check. Gold, smoky eyes; baby pink lips. Check. Sascha stared at the two piles of clothes on the bed.

We ate a leisurely breakfast and walked into Dan's office shortly after 9:00 and were quickly shown into a conference room where we were met by Dan and David Collins, the assistant director of our former agency.

To all the message leavers, really sorry about the delay. I had laptop issues that saw me lose almost half of the last chapter after a shitload of work, and meant that I had to go back to an older saved version and re-write a whole load of stuff that I'd felt really good about first time and it's never as good, at least it doesn't seem like it; but Hey, that...
