Alouette excused the housekeeper, wanting nothing more than to be alone. She was exhausted from her journey and perhaps something else. She flopped down on the ornate satin couch with a sigh, causing dust particles to dance in the air.

The apartment smelled of old lavender and mustiness. She closed her eyes, willing herself to sleep, but instead she saw Henri’s face. What would he think if he could see her now, serving a man such as von Krohn? Henri had always been so supportive of her adventures. It’s for France, she emphasized, maybe for her husband’s ghost, or maybe for herself. She could feel a tear coursing its way down her cheek. She wiped it away and got up to wander over to the window. As she pulled back the curtains, she was surprised to find the heavy drapes hid a gorgeous view of the ocean, but even that couldn’t shake her feelings of melancholy.

The promise she had made to Ladoux haunted her as much as Henri’s ghost. There were not many people she could trust—she wasn’t even entirely confident in the people who proclaimed to be on her side. She was starting to realize that being a double agent was a terribly lonely occupation and supposed the secret service door would always remain shut against friendship and love alike.

Needless to say, that night was a sleepless one. Alouette rose at dawn, collected her luggage, and returned to the Hotel Continental.
