“Well,” Nathan commented as he took a seat. “That's quite a feather in your cap.”

“What happens now?” Calliope asked.

Tox put his arm around his wife. “It won’t be part of the crown jewels any time soon. It's probably already collecting dust in some government vault.”

“I hope not,” Evan said. “Part of the joy of being an archaeologist is sharing your discoveries with the world.”

“Any news on Gemini March?” Tox asked.

“Nothing. Cam shared what information he had, but even with everything that went down in Mallorca, all it really amounted to was a well-supported theory. We weren’t exactly holding a smoking gun,” Nathan replied.

Calliope added, “Gemini March hasn’t been seen. The tabloid rumor is that she's in rehab.”

“She has intel on some extremely powerful criminals,” Cam said.

“I gotta hand it to you, buddy. You unmasked an arch-villain, found a giant diamond, and got the girl. Not bad, considering you had no fucking clue what you were stepping into.” Tox tipped his glass to his friend.

Cam rested his hand at Evan's nape. “Especially the girl.”

Evan turned to Cam. “Dr. Emberton says we always seem to make the most wonderful discoveries quite by accident.”

“He's right, mi amor. I found you.”
