A few hours later I took Annie back to the Manchester airport, and in the hour or so drive to the west, she used her BlackBerry to make phone call after phone call and to text the scores of people she owed messages to. She had taken a shower, begged off breakfast, and was dressed in a sharp black outfit that said serious woman on a serious mission.

When we got to the airport and I pulled up to the single large building that served as the terminal, the serious woman left for a moment and the tender woman appeared. She touched my cheek and said, "Thanks for the day and night of sanity, Lewis."

"My pleasure," I said. "At least three times."

She giggled and we kissed, and I got out and retrieved her luggage, and she said, "I hope I didn't scare you earlier this morning."

"By taking over my computer without asking permission and looking for my hidden porn collection?"

She gently kicked me in the shin. "Cad. No. About what happens after the election. About me. About you."

"No," I said. "Not scared. I know we'll do well, whatever happens. That's for later. You've got a man to elect president."

Annie hugged me, and I felt her hand run up my side, where I was wearing a Bianchi shoulder holster and my Beretta, and she whispered, "Armed, are you?"

"Yes."

"And you've got a man to catch."

"I do."

"Then do it," she whispered, "and don't get yourself killed. Because I'll be so pissed you'll run scared, even if you're dead."

I rubbed her back. "Deal."

We broke apart, and she grabbed her luggage and started walking into the terminal, talking again to her BlackBerry, towing her wheeled bag behind her. I waited and waited as she approached the sliding glass doors.

Waited some more. The doors slid open. Annie walked through. Stopped.

Turned. Smiled and threw me a kiss. I threw one back.

It had been worth the wait.
