The first time Mia Conti saw Elias Weston, she didn't even know his name.

Perfect smile for the cameras, cool and composed. Then she turns to leave, and his hand closes around her wrist. "Long time no see, Mia." The flashbulbs are still going off somewhere behind them. "I came back for you." An ocean between them didn't kill what they had. It just put it on ice. And Elias Weston has never once been afraid of thin ice.
