Good Girl Gone Bad
For the first time since I'd walked through that door tonight, I wasn't thinking about Massimo, or the mission, or Navera asleep four hundred miles away.
I’m going to make him see me.
I crossed the ballroom without a plan and that should have stopped me.
It didn't.
I told myself this was still the mission, that whatever came out of my mouth in the next five minutes would serve the same purpose it always did.
I was six steps from him when the music stopped.
Not all at once. The quartet trailed off mid-phrase, one instrument at a time, the way musicians stop when someone has signaled them to.
