Jason opened the door of his apartment to find Fox standing there in a trench coat. That she was there was hardly a surprise since the building’s security system had informed him of his guest, but the serious look on her face gave Jason pause and short-circuited several critical-thinking pathways that should have kicked in.

‘We need to talk,’ Fox said and Jason stepped to the side as she walked in.

‘I was wondering whether you had misplaced my number,’ Jason replied.

‘I needed some time to think.’

‘Obviously.’ Mild irritation stirred. She had not spoken to him for a week, since he had told her of his new assignment. She had said they should make a go of it, and then nothing. Now she was marching in as though there was more to say?

‘It’s going to be hard, Jason.’

‘It will not be easy, but you said–’

Fox spun on her heel and reached out an arm, stopping him in his tracks as she pushed against his chest, keeping him at arm’s length. ‘You don’t understand. It’s going to be really hard.’

Anger surfaced and was pushed back as best Jason could manage it. ‘Yes, it will be hard’ – and Fox unbuckled the belt on her coat – ‘but I think that we can make this work and I am damned if I will…’ Jason faltered as Fox began unbuttoning her coat, but he rallied. ‘Damned if I will give up on…’ Fox sloughed off her trench coat, letting it fall behind her.

Fox smiled, and the bit of Jason’s brain which had been screaming at him for attention broke through to point out that she was wearing dark-red lipstick, a lot of black eyeliner, and press-on nail extensions painted the same colour as her lips: not exactly break-up make-up. ‘I am so glad to hear that, because I’m flying out to Tokyo tomorrow and I really don’t want to waste time on getting you interested.’

‘Mon chère, you have had my interest since the moment you first walked into my office.’

‘I’m… away… for Valentine’s… day,’ Fox said as best she could under the circumstances. ‘I thought… we’d do… it now.’

Jason was not stupid enough to try to reply. Diverting power to his speech centres right now was out of the question and would likely have resulted in him answering in French. He was fairly certain that his brain was suffering from oxygen deficiency anyway.

‘You don’t… have to answer…’ Fox grunted. ‘Just… come if you agree!’ The last words came in a rush and she dug her nails into his back as she arched and clamped down around him. She was
