Sunlight speared through the curtains. Laney blinked against it. She’d left the curtain pulled back last night, and now she was paying the price. She rolled over, laying a hand on Drake’s chest with a smile. He had well and thoroughly exhausted her. She had slept for the rest of the night without a thought.

But now, with daylight creeping through the windows, what lay ahead of them refused to shift back into the darkness. She looked past Drake to the clock on the side of the bed. Three more hours and they would be in a meeting with joint chiefs. This time the heads of the Atlantic and Pacific Fleet as well as the head of the Marine Corps Ground Combat team would be joining them in a video conference. Some equivalent military leader from the Army would also be joining in, although Laney could not for the life of her remember their title. She was awash in military titles at this point.

The world is on the march. The weight of the responsibility of the battle ahead settled on her, but she shrugged it off. Drake was right. No point making it more difficult than it already was.

Besides, it wasn’t like she hadn’t faced a world at war before. As Helen, she’d been in the middle of a world gone mad. And she had defeated Samyaza, who’d been trying to gain back his powers.

But she’d lost Drake. She ran a hand over his bare chest. She knew in the battle to come, she would lose people. There was no way they would all survive. She was pretty sure that she herself would not survive. She had come close to dying so many times.

You can only avoid the punches for so long.

She closed her eyes, breathing deeply. Whatever happened would happen. She would do her best to protect all those she could. That was all she could ask of herself.

“Are you done with your morning mental gymnastics routine?”

Laney opened her eyes, smiling into Drake’s heavy-lidded eyes. “I am.”

“Good. Then let me show you—”

She shook her head, pulling the sheet with her as she sat up. “Nope. The car is coming for us in about an hour. And I want a shower and breakfast.”

Drake raised an eyebrow. “So we’re in a rush?”

“A bit.”

“Well, it would probably be more efficient then to shower together. To save time and all.”

Laney smiled. “I was just thinking the same thing.”
