When we returned to the villa, the professionals immediately started discussing our plan for tomorrow morning. However, I immediately went to bed and laughed when Beattie kissed Aaran’s cheek and headed that way herself. It was time for rest. The real spies could do the dirty work.
When I woke up about ten hours later, more rested than I had felt in days, Boone was already up, showered, and making breakfast for everyone in the kitchen. The common spaces were pristine, and as I slid up to him and hugged him from behind, I said, “Were you up all night cleaning?”
“It’s how I think,” he said as he turned around to pull me to him. “Ivan helped. We make a good team.”
I laughed. “I almost wish I’d been awake to see the two of you with brooms and dust rags.”
“It’s a sight, for sure,” he said.
