"Nova." I f*****g hate those syllables rolling off my tongue. "She's working with Katerina."
"Well, I'll be damned." Papers rustle in the background. "You sure?"
"I'm watching them play f*****g patty-cake in the park right now." Even Rufus---that traitor---is weaving between them like they're old pals. Like this is normal. Like my world isn't cracking apart. "Get the team ready. This ends today."
I hang up before he can respond, my eyes locked on the scene before me.

She's so soft with him. So careful. So f*****g perfect at playing the innocent.
I was an i***t not to se
