The phone buzzed, and Adriana opened her eyes. She reached for the phone on the bedside table and looked at the screen. All okay. In Syria. Heading to Idlib. See you soon.

She heard Maadhavi stirring beside her, and she looked over and smiled.

“They’re okay. They’re in Syria and heading to Idlib.”

“That’s good.” Maadhavi rubbed her eyes and sat up. “What time is it?”

Adriana peered at the screen. “Just after six-thirty.”

They had talked for a while once the men left before finally dropping off to a fitful sleep. Adriana kept waking and checking the phone for messages and in between, had been troubled by disturbing dreams. Maadhavi must have been going through the same thing as she had tossed and turned beside her.

“I’m going to close my eyes again for another half-hour.”

“Okay.” Adriana put the phone back on the bedside table. She doubted she would get back to sleep, she was too wound up. Instead, she tried imagining where John was but had nothing to compare it to. She’d never been to Syria and thankfully, never to a conflict zone. She believed if anyone could pull this off, it would be John, but it didn’t stop her worrying. She wouldn’t relax until she knew he was safely back on the Turkish side of the border.

Her life had changed so much since that day in Bangkok when she first met him. Yes, there had been danger, but her life seemed fuller, and she felt more alive as if she had been living life in black and white before she met him. He was a unique man, loving and caring, yet with a steel core. He had his moments, times when he would withdraw into himself, nights when he would wake up covered in sweat, troubled by memories from the past, but she loved him more than anything else in the world.

Her eyelids slowly drooped shut, and she drifted off into a dreamless sleep.
