The past few days in Switzerland had lasted an eternity. Paige kept a close eye on Evie and Ryan, while simultaneously working hard to avoid Nick.

A government agent. How was she supposed to move forward with that information?

The clang of cowbells rang over the mountain as Paige strolled down the path, reveling in her solitude. Vibrant green grasses waved gently in the breeze, and the city of Interlaken spread out far below her, the homes now the size of a doll’s. She desperately needed to recharge after spending so much time with noisy teenagers, and this seemed the perfect place to do it.

Nick still wanted her—he’d made that abundantly clear. And her heart ached for him. But he was a different person to her, now. She wasn’t cut out to be the girlfriend of a spy.

Paige stepped off the path and lay down on the cool grass. She closed her eyes, inhaling deeply. In. Out. In. Out. She focused on relaxing each muscle in her body and listened to the sound of each breath. The sun beat down on her. A blade of grass tickled her arm. Birds chirped quietly in a nearby tree. She forced her mind to go blank and let herself feel.

“Beautiful, isn’t it?”

The voice was quiet and familiar, and Paige didn’t startle at the sound. Somehow, she’d known he’d find her here. She squinted against the sunlight, and Nick peered down at her.

“What are you doing?” he asked.

Paige sighed and sat up. “I was enjoying the peace and quiet.”

“That’s definitely in short supply these days. I’m going to miss the kids when they leave, but it’s hard to think when they’re around.”

Paige couldn’t agree more. To her surprise, she’d grown close to quite a few of them—including Evie—and would miss them when they went home in another week. But their constant energy drained her.

Nick sank onto the grass beside her. “There’s nothing like this in D.C.”

Paige laughed. “What, you’re not a fan of the concrete jungle?”

“I much prefer this. I mean, look at it.” He thrust out an arm.

In the distance, a tram hung suspended in the air as it made its way up the mountain. Paige had dug her nails into her palms the entire ride. The tram had swayed in the breeze, making her stomach clench in fear. She’d cringed as the goth kid and giggly girls pressed their hands against the glass, exclaiming over the beauty of the world below. She’d met Nick’s eyes across the tram and wished she could bury her face against his chest until they were safely on the ground.

“This kind of reminds me of the nature preserve I took you to,” Nick said. “Not the mountains, but the wildflowers. The fields were purple with them. Remember?”

Paige ducked her head, her cheeks hot. She remembered, all right. “Yeah. That trip was just fantastic.”

A low rumble burst out of Nick. He held a hand to his mouth, shoulders shaking. “I had no idea you hated nature so much.”

“I grew up in classrooms, not camping in the Wild West.
