    Summary

    “He’s seen your face. We can’t afford for him to live.”

    “He’s an essential part of Operation Strix. He dies, Yor will…she’ll leave. The cover will fall apart.” Even to his own ears, his rationale had broken down.

    -----

    In the sewers of Shellbury, Twilight miscalculates. With the fate of Loid Forger's brother-in-law hanging in the balance, WISE's top agent and his cover wife, the deadliest assassin in Ostania, now face grave perils and impossible choices like none they have ever had to endure before.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    “I can’t take this anymore,” he whispered. “Please… just do it.”

    ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.

    Summary

    “What’re you saying, Handler?”

    “What I’m saying is, I need a favor from you. I need you to protect this girl while we put an end to this.”

    “I’m retired—by your orders, Handler—I don’t do missions anymore.”

    “I know, but you’re still the best agent we ever had. You’re the only one I trust to keep her safe.”

    “I’m an unemployed bachelor living alone out in the middle of nowhere. That’s hardly a good environment for a kid.”

    “It won’t be that long, just a few months at most. You don’t need to raise her, for crying out loud, just make sure she stays alive and well. We’ll compensate you and everything,” the Handler says.

    “What if I say no?”

    A futile question.

    “Ultimately, I can’t force you to do anything anymore,” she says, “But the poor kid has been through so much. I’m asking you as a friend to protect this little girl.”

    She sucks in a breath and holds it, as if debating to say what’s on her mind.

    “You fought so children could have a safe world to grow up in, right?” Her voice is gentle and sincere. “Please, Twilight, she needs that world more than ever.”

    Summary

    Just as she pries her head off the bar, the band playing at the far end of the room stops their song and a new voice booms from the microphone.

    “I’m terribly sorry to interrupt but…”

    Yor whips around to see a man standing on the small stage in front of the band, squinting into the bright spotlights as he leans into the microphone. He looks exactly like Loid, except slightly more disheveled and unlike his usual polished self. Her heart sinks.

    Please don’t let that be Loid, she silently pleads.

    “I seem to have lost my wife.”

    She buries her head in her hands while mumbling curses.

    Yor and Twilight learn the truth about each other. Neither of them expected what unraveled afterwards.

    Summary

    Filling the glass once more, Yor went into the main room.

    “Oh,” she breathed, swaying to a stop, “My…”

    Twilight had mussed his hair out of the strict, slicked-back he'd worn for cover, shaken his fringe out into his preferred looser style. Yor liked it best too, but that wasn't what had stopped her — that wasn't what tightened her stomach. He'd taken off his jacket, leaving his emerald vest over his shirtsleeves, rolled up to his elbows, forearms displayed, crossed over his chest. He'd removed his watch. Loosened his tie. Undone the top buttons of his shirt, collars spread to show the hollow of his throat.

     

    After Yor does the unexpected while on a joint-mission, an emotional Twilight suggests they do something new in bed, which thrills Yor.
