CHAPTER FOURTEEN

A few short weeks ago, Ewan would have said he might never be truly contented again in his life. Now, waking every morning with Nina in his bed, he couldn’t imagine ever being happier. Everything that had happened between them hadn’t gone away of course—it wasn’t that simple. There were still times when he caught her looking at him when she thought he didn’t notice, mostly after they’d made love and they were drifting to sleep. The expression on her face was inevitably thoughtful, a little difficult to interpret. Always beautiful.

She hadn’t had any glitches in the past week or so, and the doc he’d called to come check her out had found nothing out of the ordinary, but that worried Ewan more than if they’d come back with a bunch of diagnoses. He’d been working hard with Katrinka toward planning the events that would support the change in the legislation, along with working even harder on writing the new language that needed to get to all the right government officials. The sooner they could get this turned around, the faster he could help Nina. Of course, he was also working on the upgrades themselves so that when the time came, there’d be no waiting to implement them.

If it took much longer, he was going to insist she allow him to give her the upgrades before it was legalized. If she demanded they be given to all of her peers, he’d see that happen, too, but he wasn’t going to watch her deteriorate in front of him when he could stop it. The problem was, of course, that he’d done such a good job in restricting the ability to do anything with the original tech that he was having a hard time working on it himself. All of his original work had been burned in the fire, or he’d destroyed it.

Bothering him, also, was the way she seemed convinced that her stormy emotional array was tied to the degrading tech. It wasn’t something he’d programmed, but he hadn’t been the one to actually implement the tech into the fifteen soldiers. It was, however, something he intended to fix in her.

Nina hadn’t brought it up again. If she’d been suffering any highs or lows, she hadn’t mentioned it. Ewan suspected she was quietly keeping her fears to herself so that he didn’t get too anxious. She’d been doing her share of work, too. Lots of outreach. Viddy interviews. Meetings. She’d taken to the tasks with full enthusiasm and skill, even if she protested that she wasn’t very good at it.

“We make a good team,” she told him now as she closed the lid of her laptop and stretched. “I got requests for three more presentations. They want you, too. The power couple.”

Ewan smiled. “Maybe we’ll get another set of photos in the gossip stream.”

“Oh, sure, and that reminds me, I have to finish up my interview about my thoughts on kitten heels versus flats,” Nina replied dryly. “I’m having a tough time deciding which I like better.
