Medichi nearly dropped the sauté pan at the wave of tangerine that suddenly hit him. He did take a step back to steady himself. Yeah, his woman liked what she saw.

He settled the pan and large spoon in the oversized sink, picked up both bowls of pasta, and moved around the island. She came forward at the same time and took the seat on the right.

She didn’t meet his gaze but leaned over her plate. Holding her damp hair back, she closed her eyes and took a deep breath. “Heaven,” she whispered.

He looked at her, at the delicate fingers on her hair, at the profile that seemed carved from ivory, at that which had become most precious in these few short months. His heart swelled when it shouldn’t have.

She was here.

She was safe.

She was right. This was heaven.

Spearing a slice of sausage, she sank in her teeth and moaned.

Okay, that reminded him of a different kind of meal. He faced forward, grabbed his own fork and spoon, and began spearing and twirling. The moment he did, his hunger roared at him. One thing battling required was a solid, heavy intake of calories.

He avoided speaking to her because he knew what would happen. He’d get lost in her voice, or the color of her eyes, or her scent, and he’d start nuzzling her neck. Besides, the way she had launched into her pasta told him she was just as starved.

“I’m sorry,” she said. “I’m being rude. I’m slaughtering this meal and not saying one word to you.”

He glanced at her, smiled, then gestured with his fork to her bowl. “Eat. We both need it.”

She nodded, smiled in return, and reapplied her efforts. When the contents of her bowl were about half demolished, she said, “You know, I’ve been thinking about how to locate the women.”

He put his hand on her arm and said, “You don’t have to do this right now. We just got back from a tough situation. You can take a break, breathe. It’s important.”

She huffed a sigh and twirled her pasta slowly around her spoon. “How about just a couple of points and then I’ll let it drop, okay?”

“Okay, but just a couple.”

“Good. Okay.” She nodded. “First, have you already contacted Carla?”

“Yes, before I started cooking. She’s opened up the grid in France even though Rith could have taken the slaves anywhere. But she had to start somewhere.”

“Good. That’s point one. The grid is already in place and searching. I was concerned about that.” She shifted slightly and met his gaze. “You know how the earth rotates on its axis?”

He laughed. “Yep, twenty-four hours a day.”

“Yeah. If I voyeur Fiona and can find a window near her, we can help pinpoint her location by a sunrise or sunset. Yes?”

He stared at her. “You realize, Parisa, that you’ve just cut the hunt time down by anywhere from one hour to twelve.”

Parisa smiled. “That’s what I thought. I think we have work to do.”

“What about the headaches?”

“Guess I’m going to
