Ahmed hung up the phone with the florist and paced his living room. He’d never had to say he was sorry for anything these past eighteen years and he didn’t know where to start. He’d ordered chocolates, flowers, and now he was wondering if he needed to run into Lexington for some jewelry. However, Bridget didn’t strike him as a jewelry girl, maybe a gun. Yes, a gun. One of the new . . . The knock at the door had him hurrying to answer it. He had Mo’s French cook working on a romantic meal for her when he would beg her to forgive him. “Cy? I thought you were taking a honeymoon,” Ahmed said in surprise.

“We did. We left right after I got you those bank records. I got home late last night and guess what? My phone’s been ringing off the hook. Apparently you decided to finally take the leap and started dating the perfect woman. And then out of nowhere, decided to dump her. Am I up to speed?” Cy asked rhetorically as he pushed his way into the house.

“Come in,” Ahmed said dryly.

“I wasn’t asking. What’s going on and why did you turn your back on the best thing that could happen to you?”

“I know you, the golden boy, don't hear this much, but it’s none of your business.”

“I picked Bridget to come to Keeneston last Christmas and now I feel responsible for her. Not only that, but you and Miles are the only ones here who have some inkling of what I’ve done. If anyone can understand you, then it should be me,” Cy said as he tossed his jacket on the back of the chair and took a seat on the couch. “I’m not leaving.”

“I can see that.” Ahmed let out a breath and took a seat in the chair across from him. Cy smiled in victory and it was tough for Ahmed to remember that under his friend’s Hollywood good looks and winning smile was a cold-blooded spy.

“I take it Bridget is who you told me about on the plane before we jumped to rescue Gemma.”

“Yes,” Ahmed said quietly.

Cy leaned back and stretched out his legs. “Talk.”

Ahmed closed his eyes for a second. It wasn’t easy to do. “I buried that side of me years ago when Sergei killed my wife and son. What happened was . . .”

“I know what happened.” Cy waved him off. “You don’t have to go into it if you don’t want to.”

“You know?”

“I am a spy, you know. A good one. The only thing I don’t know is why Sergei came after you in the first place. But, more pertinently, I want to know what happened with Bridget.”

Ahmed knew he shouldn’t be surprised, but he was. “You know about my family. Do you know about my capture?” When Cy gave him a quick nod of his head, Ahmed actually felt relieved. Cy knew and would understand his perspective without having to relive those horrible times. “I vowed retribution.
