“Surviving?” Malcolm met Suzanne in the middle of the room as the company prepared to go into the dining room for the wedding breakfast. Strain showed round his eyes, but his mouth lifted in a smile.

“It’s easier for the bride. The teasing isn’t as merciless.” She scanned his face, realizing precisely what would rescue them both from the awkwardness. “Learned anything?”

Malcolm offered her his arm. “Linford doesn’t deny he had an affair with Charlotte Haddon. But he claims he’d have realized if Haddon had known of the affair.”

Suzanne curled her fingers round his arm. “Haddon doesn’t precisely strike me as a master dissembler. On the other hand, Linford isn’t what I’d call discerning, either.”

“No.” Malcolm turned, his head brushing her curls, his voice pitched for her ears alone. “Still I can’t very well confront Haddon and risk giving the game away if there’s a chance he doesn’t know the truth.”

She smiled up at him, a happy bride basking in the glow of her wedding day. “What will you do then?”

“Break into his rooms.”

Suzanne studied the man she’d married. Sober, serious. Far too ethical and honorable to be an agent. “You’re a constant source of surprise, darling.”

The English endearment came out unbidden. Malcolm appeared too intent on the mission to notice it. “Stealing the letter back would be the simplest solution all round,” he said. “The Haddons are having another of their routs on Thursday. So I won’t actually have to break into their rooms. But I may need you to help create a diversion.”

“Of course.”

He grinned. The strain had eased round his eyes. Nothing like a mission to drive away thoughts of marriage.
