I look up at Aida’s hopeful, guilty face.
Only Aida would believe she could get the watch back. I never even considered if it might be possible. You might as well drain the whole damn lake before you could get her to give up.
I love this woman. The day she set my house on fire was the luckiest day of my life. It truly is the luck of the Irish: perverse. Inexplicable. And utterly fantastic.
“Do you forgive me for losing it in the first place?” she asks me, slipping her slim little hand into mine.
“I shouldn’t tell you how much you could get away with, Aida,” I say, shaking my head. “But you already know that I’d forgive anything you do.”
“Anything?” she says, grinning mischievously.
“Yes,” I say. “But please don’t test that theory.”
Aida leans across the table to kiss me. She pulls back just a little so her nose is touching mine.
“I love you,” she says. “Did I tell you that yet?”
“No,” I grin. “Tell me again.”

I knew I was in love with you. Was I an idiot for thinking you were in love with me too?
Jesu Nadal
Chief Superintendent Black drove his hired car up the long, private drive to the Home Secretary’s house. He glanced with pleasure at the beautiful woman occupying the seat next to his. He knew he would be one of the least-important people at the party that night, but he couldn’t imagine that anyone would have a more stunning date on their arm.
Though they had been together almost a year, she was still a mystery to him, this dazzling American girl who had dropped into his life. What was she thinking now, at this moment?
Lex didn’t seem nervous in the slightest, though she was about to walk into a mansion full of strangers, in a setting where she couldn’t possibly know all the social norms. She seemed perfectly at her ease, leaning her elbow across the frame of the open window, enjoying the evening breeze streaming inside, heedless of how it might disarrange the elegant ballerina bun atop her head.
