And then the day started. It was okay back on the island—there were only Sophia and Nikos to see her off, Sophia sniffing into her handkerchief and Nikos just sniffing.

She sniffed herself. She sat in the back of the helicopter and hugged Deefer and decidedly sniffed. Georgiou was her pilot but she was damned if she was talking to him. She was dressed to kill in a slick little crimson suit with stiletto heels—Sophia had decreed nothing in the lavish wardrobe suitable for her first introduction to the country and had ordered Georgiou to bring this to her.

She looked as good as she could do—apart from one peeling nose.

She should have left Deefer behind. ‘I’ll mind him,’ Sophia had promised. ‘And Andreas can have him flown over after the wedding.’ But he was coming with her. Her one true thing.

Not her husband?

Andreas was waiting for her. The royal family was waiting for her. The whole damned country was waiting for her.

She hugged Deefer and she stared out the window at Andreas’s lovely island hideaway growing smaller and smaller in the distance.

And then she saw the mainland growing larger.

‘Would you like a drink before you land? There’s some in the cabinet by your side,’ Georgiou said diffidently through the headset and she flashed him a look of hatred.

‘I’d rather choke than accept a drink from you, you kidnapping toe rag.’

‘I was only following orders.’

‘Right. Well, my orders to you are to keep as far away from me as possible.’

‘I believe I can’t do that. I’m allocated as your personal bodyguard.’

‘Oh, my God,’ she said with loathing.

‘So you’ll just have to get used to me,’ he said. ‘Now, drink?’

‘I’m tempted,’ she muttered. ‘Very tempted. Is Andreas meeting the plane?’

‘He won’t see you until the wedding,’ Georgiou said, shocked. ‘It’s unlucky.’

‘So he’s not meeting the plane.’

‘I believe the entire royal family is meeting the plane,’ Georgiou said. ‘Except Andreas.’

‘Oh, goody,’ she whispered. And reconsidered. ‘Georgiou?’

‘Yes, ma’am.’

‘I will have a drink,’ she said in a small voice. ‘A very small one. But, Georgiou?’

‘Yes?’

‘Also a very strong one.’
