The rest of the day passed quickly. There was dinner in a Parisian restaurant, a walk along the Seine, plans finalized for tomorrow and all the preparation they had left to do. Lily had told the rest of her crew there was no need to come to the races—if they went well, they would be over soon enough—but of course everyone had wanted to, and so evening found the five of them just outside Paris, surrounded by cool night air and the glint of unfamiliar headlights.
